Digihome 22LCDVD860 I cannot get this TV to tune into normal TV - all of the manuals online do not have the same menus that mine has, does anyone have the correct instructions please? There is no option for first time install, factory reset, or auto retune :( Thanks

Possibly same method on remote control as shown on page 11 of the following manual link. (I could not locate that particular tv, so I searched for digihome tv instructions using https://www.google.com)

Pressing yellow button or M button opens a Menu, and then pressing the keys to open the Feature menu shows a Child Lock item. If unchecked, the Child Lock is removed.

I don't think Digihome offer direct support anymore, the TV's are branded generic now mostly containing Vestel Boards and panels, the retailer currently selling these may be your best option. Digihome TV user guides are available free download here:
Colour Televisions

You might consider buying a new one at:
DIGIHOME 22784wd TV NEW replacement remote control
or:
Digihome TV Projector Parts

Refer its user manual for details. Electro help

It's probably checking for firmware updates. You may be able to turn this off in the menus, but you would then need to manually check for updates occasionally.

On your remote control, press 'menu'.
Then select 'set up' on the screen.
Then select 'Installation' on the screen.
Then select 'Automatic channel scan' on the screen.
The box should then scan for all channels, and with luck BBC will be included. If not, please repost. Some older Digihome PVR80s can't cope with the new multiplexing standard employed by digital freeview.

This depends on how you want to use your kit, and how many scart plugs you have in your TV and VCR.
If you have 2 scarts in your tv;
Aerial coax goes to digihome aerial in. Aerial out from digihome to aerial in of vcr. Tune vcr into Digihome.
Scart plug from digihome to tv.
Scart plug from vcr to tv.
You can then record what you have selected on your digihome box.
In my humble opinion, it's worth splashing out on a pvr; you have more functionality such as being able to record 1 program and watch another.
