You will need to have 2 SCART sockets on your freeview box. One should be connected to your TV, The other to your VCR, or DVD. Most VCRs have a channel dedicated to SCART (AV) inputs. Having recorded you can then playback in your pevious manner, or if you prefer, via an additional SCART connection to your TV from your VCR. Most TVs have at least 2 SCART sockets these days. Some early Freeview boxes only had one SCART socket, in which case you are stymied.
