problem recording digital TV

[gedr]

Hi all,
I have ntl digital TV, LCD TV and Panasonic DVD recorder, I can record using video+ numbers, but this will, of course, be via the analogue aerial, this is a lousy picture, it seems whatever I do I cannot make it record the digital input, except if I use the One Touch recording option and then it will record anything.
Is it possible to record the digital?
Please bear with me, at 76, when I went to school an abacus was new technology :-)

I have an identical set-up and record with no problems.Have you checked that the scart leads/connections are ok

Thanks tabatha, I have one scart lead from set top box to monitor and another one from monitor to recorder, I did notice the recorder and STB have a second scart port, but there is nothing in them, should there be?
thanks, gedr.

with acknowledgement to altis, this is the way to connect it up, obviously the DVD recorder takes the place of the VCR.

Set-up I have is...
STB "vcr scart" to recorder "AV2 decoder"..
AV/TV scart to tv...
Set Panny to "AV2" to record whatever channel the STB is outputting..
Instant record or timer both work fine....
PM if I can help......
Reading your post you do not appear to have the STB connected to the recorder

Thanks both for the replies, I will now try to soak up this info and see what I have done wrong, there now follows further excuses, only got one eye and that has a cataract, so might take a little while.

Cheers, gedr.
