My System: pc running xp pro
Help wanted

I live in Tenerife

I have a SKY box with a freesat card but over here we cannot get BBC1/2 ITV3/4 so I have a set top box.

I also have a slingplayer on my PC which uses my flatscreen TV as a monitor, my problem is this

The TV has two scart sockets as does the SKy box and the set top box.

How do I use a DVD/HDD recorder which will record both the SKY and set top box.

Any ideas please.

PS I am a 72 year old pensioner so please not too techie

If the TV has a third non SCART input, eg RCA/phono connections, maybe you could use that to view your DVD/HDD recorder.

Or you could use a SCART switcher on the TV input to select say between the Sky Box and the recorder.

Your DVD/HDD recorder will obviously need enough inputs to take the two sources you have.
