I'd really appreciate some help, as I'm rapidly going bonkers. I've just updated my analogue telly and freeview box with a Sony digital telly, but I cannot set my Pioneer HDD/DVD recorder to record the digital channel. I'd managed to do it with my old system of telly + freeview box so in theory this should be easier as it's only connected to the TV. I've downloaded all the channels on to the recorder via the telly, but it will only record the analogue channels. I'm pretty sure I've connected everything correctly as I can record the digital channel straight from the telly with the 'record what's on TV' button, but I cannot find a way of setting the timer to record the digital channel. I've asked everyone I know who has a digital telly, many who have more technological skills than I have, but no one's found a way of doing it. I'm usually quite competent at this sort of thing, but I obviously need the help of a technological genius. Thanks in advance for any help!

I've finally sorted it, so just in case anyone has the same problem, this is what you do. You have to connect the scart lead from the AV2 output/input on the telly to the AV2 output/input on the recorder, not the one that says TV connector. You then set the input/output on both menus. This means that whenever you use the recorder you have to switch to AV2. I hope this saves someone some time! Happy New Year.
