[QUOTE="2cvbloke, post: 529834, member: 199791"] It's not that difficult, just connect a SCART lead from the TV output on the STBs & VCR into the three inputs on the switch, then the Monitor output goes to the TV. To record off the Freeview and Satellite boxes, you might need to have a SCART cable coming from both box's VCR output going into the VCR's Input, but whether you can have both connected depends on what input sockets your VCR has (Could be just SCART or SCART & Phono), that switch looks rather confusing!!! :) EDIT: Actually, I figured it out!!! Connect your VCR to socket A, then your Freeview and Sat to of B & C (up to you which way round), then you select which box you want to record off by pressing the B-A or C-A buttons, your VCR should support 2-way functionality on it's scart socket as that's what they were designed for... :) [/QUOTE]
