Help?

Trying to hook up a Pioneer DVD recorder to a TV and NTL Digi box. Whatever I'm doing wrong I can't get any reception on the TV.

Can any experts spot what's wrong with this set-up:

- Aerial in to 'cable in' on Digi Box
- Scart from 'VCR/Aux' on Digi Box to 'AV2 (Input 1/Decoder)' on DVD
- Scart from 'AV1 (RGB) TV' on DVD to TV
- RF cable from TV to 'Antenna Out' on DVD
- RF cable from 'Cable out' on Digi Box to 'Antenna In (Digital)' on DVD

Thanks!
 
Have you turned them ALL on? Maybe they need power.... just a quick thought.
 
I would go:
Aerial in to "cable in" on Digi Box
RF cable from Cable out on Digi Box to DVD recorder
RF cable from DVD recorder out to TV
1xScart from VCR/Aux on Digi Box to DVD recorder
2xScart from Digi Box to TV

That's how NTL set it up for me (except I have a video recorder).
 

Thanks a million rgfuller, you have the scart from the Digi to the TV whereas my instructions said to put it from the DVD to the TV - I'll try your set-up. Thanks again.

PS I've checked radioandtelly.co.uk and the Sony site (which shows the connection diagrams) but as far as I can work out I have everything hooked up as they advise.
 
Sorted! Swapped the RF cables around and finally hit the right combination. Thanks for the replies.
 
Yep, miraculously almost everything is working, really not sure how! Analogue channels and digital tuned in and recording perfectly (this is a beeeeeeeeeeeautiful machine ), all I need to figure out now is how to set-up Guideplus Have followed all the tips (ie put in a Belfast postal code, etc) but not sure where to go from there. If any one from the south has managed this: help!
