Extra Information

❖ Recording a digital satellite programme

If you have a VCR you can use it to record satellite programmes from your box.

To record a satellite programme:

1.

Make sure your box is switched on and tuned to the channel you wish to record.

2.

Set your VCR correctly to record at the appropriate time, making sure that your VCR is set to record its ‘channel for digital satellite TV’, or if your box is connected to your VCR via a SCART lead, making sure your VCR is set to record its appropriate AV channel.

For further information about your VCR, refer to your VCR’s user guide.

Notes

Your VCR must be correctly connected to your box. For further information, see pages 9 and 10.

Some programmes are copy-protected and may not play back correctly if you record them.

While you are setting the recording up, you may wish to make sure your TV is switched to its ‘VCR channel’ or the AV channel that you use when you are watching videos, so you can check that the

VCR is showing what you want to record.

Watching other channels while you are recording a digital satellite programme

If your equipment is connected using RF leads, as in connection methods 1 or 2, you can watch any

terrestrial channel while you record digital satellite TV, by changing channel with your TV’s remote control. You can also watch any digital channel while you record a terrestrial channel.

However, you cannot watch one digital channel while you record a different digital channel. If you use your box’s remote control to change channel while you are recording, your VCR will record the channel change.

❖ Switching between digital satellite TV and terrestrial TV

If your TV automatically shows digital satellite TV whenever your box is switched on, you can use your remote control to switch between digital satellite TV and terrestrial TV.

This is also useful if you are using your VCR, for example to record a digital channel, but you want to watch a terrestrial channel.

◆ To switch between digital satellite TV and terrestrial TV, press the TV button on your remote control. (Please do not press the

S button - this will switch your box off.)

Note

In order for this feature to work, your digital box must be connected to your TV via a SCART lead, and your TV must also be receiving the terrestrial channels from your TV aerial. For information about connecting up, see pages 9 to 11.

Some TVs may not allow you to use this feature.

❖ Error messages

If there is a temporary problem with a channel you are watching, you may see an error message on your TV screen. If this happens, you can still change channel, in the usual way, to a channel that is not experiencing problems.
