No signal on my dvdr70 recorder to record off my skyhd box

SOURCE: I'm having trouble recording Disney VHS to DVD. I

I'm not sure if this is the answer, but I have the same unit and in the directions it mentions not being able to record anything from a copyrighted source. I would assume Disney products are copyrighted and might have a feature that prevents these machines from accepting the signal.

Yes it has a built in tuner.

To record from the set-top box, you need to connect the coax out of the box to the coax in on the recorder (daisy-chain). Then connect the coax out of the recorder to the TV. The DVD/VCR channel needs to be set to Channel 3 or 4 depending on the output of the set-top box. (Check the manual for the cable box for this information.) Then press the TV/Video button if you see noise on the TV. Then set the TV to channel 3 or 4. See page 80 of the manual for setting the RF output of the DVD/VCR unit; the TV must be on to set this properly.

Then set the cable box for the channel that you want to record. If you keep the TV on, you will only be able to watch the channel that is recorded. Unless you have a second source going into the TV on another input.

If you have the video cable connected for a better picture from the DVD (composite or component video, for example), this is separate from the rest of the connections you need. (To watch the DVD, you'd change your input source.)

I hope this helps. BTW a copy of the manual is available here: http://tv.manualsonline.com/manuals/mfg/magnavox/mwr20v6_1.html .

To get the functionality you're looking for you'll need to to take the cable running from your DVR output and connect it to the input on your DVD recorder. Next you want to connect a cable from your DVD recorder output and connect it to your TV. If this is an HD set up you want to use HD Cables for all of the connections.

From the Sky box, plug one SCART lead to your recorder and plug another to your TV. Then plug a SCART from the TV to the recorder.

You can then select the SCART connector for the sky box to record programs.

This will work after the digital switchover. The switchover is only for 'normal' tv signals from your tv aerial
