DVD Recorder And Digital Set Top Box Trouble

I've just got a new Wharfedale DVD Recorder, and I already have a Durabrand Freeview box.

I connected the DVD recorder to the freeview box, which in turn is connected to the TV. These connections are via SCART leads.

I switched on the DVD and started set-up, but when scanning for channels could not find any. I can not get it to recognise the freeview box.

Any ideas?

Do I need to get more SCART sockets to connect the DVD directly to the TV in addition to the connections I already have?

The scarts will be AV1 / AV2 etc. and are not part of the autoscan.

You need to chain the antenna cables to for the tuner to work - If you use freeview, better to get a DVD recorder that can do DVB-T itself - in fact, even if you use sky or cable, it's getting to the point that it would be better to consider a recorder with freeview built in unless you have a completely unusable signal.
