freeview hard drive recorders

[watteee]

i had a dvd hard drive recorder but it has died on me,if i buy a freeview freeview recorder can i record onto the hard drive from an external source rather than just being able to record from the freeview channels im picking up from it.

yes plug in your camcorder via its input plugs or from a vhs tape recorder via a scart plug

the freeview recorders without the dvd writer only have one scart at the back and thats for the tv,its not a camcorder,its a camera with a scart on the end
