RE: daisy chaining problem

yes it does. i have much the same set up at the moment. the vcr socket is a pass through (on or off) in the sky box. it will PASS a svid or RGB signal.

the problem with this type of set up is that the sky box has to be off to play a dvd as svid does not have a data signal (ie the sky box does not know that the dvd has started playing) and buggers up the signal completely. not a total pain, but this set up isnt QYIT hat im trying to achieve.

RE: daisy chaining problem

yes - i have triple checked. i have a 32wP3 (not N...)

i also phoned them. in the setup it allows av1 to be switchd to svid, and thats it.

as for the other suggestion, i have it set up similar - i have the dvd going to the sky, from the sky to the tv (av1) [btw - sorry about crap typing - waterproof laptop keyboard is horrible]. this alows all viewing - excpt to watch a dvd i have to switch off sky :-(

vid is connected to av2 - which gives `monitor out` in composite - my vid can only deal with comp... so i can record whatever im watching, or using the second scart on the vid i can record another vid.

the only thing i think that i could use is a high quality scart at one end, with two wires comin off to a svid on one and a scart on the other...
