Lindsay: Is your TV a Freeview capable set? or are you using the Freeview box connected into the TV via a scart lead?

However on the assumption that the Freeview box is connected into the TV (which isn't a Freeview type) and that the booster you refer to is an aerial booster, then you would feed the boosters output into either a two or three way splitter and use coax jumper leads from each of the splitters outputs into the aerial sockets of each of the devices used, that taking care of the RF side of your query.

As far as watching one channel whilst recording another is concerned, then if the DVD recorder referred to is an Freeview capable HDD type? then no explanation is really necessary as the recorder would be operating on its own, but though its output would require to be coupled into the TV via a scart lead for playback purposes, or indeed for setting up what you want to record, and so maybe you could indicate what inputs your TV has? because as you have only provided the minimum of information this makes it difficult to advise as far as providing info thats appropriate to your particular set up.

Even as far as the splitter is concerned you may require to use a powered type dependant on your location, this also being unknown, a post code or one from nearby being suffice.

Lindsay: OK thanks, I will look out for an update from you next week.

Just for your information, the main points I would like to know about are: (1) Is the TV capable of Freeview reception without the Freeview box? and if so does it have one or two scart sockets? and: (2) The model number of the the DVD HHD recorder involved, as this would enable its technical specifications / connections etc to be checked out, this particularly important if the TV in question only has one scart socket.

Valerie Norris: I imagine that you might be receiving from Waltham which is undergoing engineering works which means bouts of low power.
