Hi, I cancelled my virgin subscription a few months ago as I could no longer afford it, but really miss their recording feature. I have freeview built-in on my TV with excellent reception. and was wondering if there is any way to record programmes using my VCR? I've connected it up using 2 scart leads and can play old recordings so I know that it's working OK. But not knowing very much about what I'm doing it's purely guess-work. My common sense can't see how it could possibly work as there's no signal going through the VCR so I'm looking for some expert advice please? I'm not able to spend money on an alternative yet either, but I do have an old 'Pace' box, and the satellitedish is still in place from 14 years ago...Would I be able to utilise them to record from 'Freesat' instead maybe?
