How have you got things connected up at present?

Is your freeview box standalone or integrated with the television?

Your connections should be as they are shown to the VCR, not the DVD. Is that how you have it set up?

You need to set the input of your recorder to be the scart socket that the freeview box is connected to when you want to record from it...
