Hi anyone.

Can someone put me out of my misery? My daughter gave me a Digilogic combi for Christmas. Nice compact unit, some problems though!!! The manual is a waste of space, can anyone tell me where I can get simple information to be able to use this unit with Virgin Cable? I have tried all forms of cable connections, I can get it all to work on the analogue channels, but will not let me record something on the cable channel. What am I doing wrong.?

Hope someone can help before I throw the blasted unit out!!!

Many thanks

Not quite the best layout shown.

With a TV, a cable box and a single recording device (old style:VCR, new style, DVDR or PVR, or combi), the stock layout is the "SCART triangle" if all 3 are dual SCART.

Cable box TV SCART to TV
Cable box VCR SCART to recorder SCART in
Recorder SCART out to TV second SCART (or use HDMI, if the recording device and TV have HDMI)

If using a full SCART hookup, then I wouldn't bother looping the antenna through the cable box if you are not tuning in the RF channel.

Still having some problems with this setup!!! I have a Samsung 32" TV and I am not sure how to tune this in to receive a dedicated channel to use with the Combi.(perhaps I dont need to have one with this set up) When I connect it up as reccommended, the VHS & DVD PLAYS PERFECTLY, but when I want to use the timer to record on the VHS all hell is let loose!!! Is this because I have Virgin Cable, and the Samsung is for both Analogue and Digital, and all channels are tuned in and work well. What am I missing? or am I just being dim!!!

I would be grateful for any help.

Many thanks
