cheers mate.is it possible to set it to record using just the one box rather than programming both the eurovox and hdd recorder?

[waqasahmed]

If you connect the box to the HDD recorder via either scart or them red, yellow, white wire things then you dont need to "programme" the HDD recorder-just switch to the right "channel" on the HDD recorder(normally AV 1 or AV2)

think i get you there,so that means i would just be viewing the eurovox through the hdd (channel av1/2) and then i would just press record on the recorder rather than programming the eurovox aswell??

Cheers for the help so far lads.

another question would be that i wouldnt be able to record one channel and watch another would i or am i misunderstood

Like I said cheers

You have indeed misunderstood here. You cant record one channel and watch another

[Shaunlockey]

sorry for all the questions lads just want to get things sorted before i actually buy.

how would i view one and record another if i was viewing through the hdd itself?

You simply cant

Depending on the HDD recorder, you MAY be able to play back one recording whilst recording something else.

You can only get one channel at a time out of the Eurovox, so unless you get a second Eurovox, you can't dual-view

In other words, please dont expect your HDD recorder to let you watch one thing and record something else. The way they work is they "copy" whatever's connected to them eg: You connect your EX1000SL to AV1(scart 1) and you are wanting to record something on BBC 1, you then want to go on the menu for some reason or the other(whilst the programme is still recording) your actions will also be recorded

Basically, if you want to record something on screen, do NOT mess about with the remote and if you wanted something that would allow you to watch one thing and record another, you need something like the V+ box(but they're expensive and slightly risky as a lot of people dont sell them with paired cards etc..)
