As I have not had a reply I thought I would expand on this problem !!
In order to record from Sky using my sony dvd recorder dc100 before switchover I had to scan for ANALOGUE channels which found five channels........ BBC1 and BBC2,ITV1,Channel 4 and my SKY channel. Now I do not get ANY ANALOGUE channels. I can understand the other channels disapearing because of digital changeover but surely if I could scan and get the SKY channel before I should be able to scan and see it now...should I not ?
Or am I missing something which is painfully obvious to someone else ?
I am very confused and would love a little input if possible.
Thanks in anticipation

Thanks for coming in on my problem.
The DC100 is not in a different room and is connected via a fully wired Scart.
Also thanks for suggestion reference RF leads which I hope to try next week as we are away over the weekend.
Thanks again

jb38: It would seem to be as you suggested ie I needed to sort a new RF channel. However as my Sky box is VERY old there is no facility to do this. I therefore contacted Sky and told them my "very sad story" !!!! and after a number of transfers to different depts they have agreed to give me a new box free of charge. This will be delivered and installed on Wednesday. So a good result all round as I only had a standard box not Sky + HD but will have on Wed.Thanks for your very valuable assistance jb38. YOU ARE A STAR JB38

Toaday we completed our digital switcover. As a consequence I am no longer able to record from my Sky box (not Sky+). Before switchover I could record Sky using my Sony RDR-dc100 recorder .
Can anyone tell me how I can pick up my sky signal in order to record as before. please.
Thanks
