How do I connect an aerial to a TV and a recorder?
With two aerial cables: one from the wall socket to the recorder's aerial in, and one from the recorder's aerial out to the TV's aerial socket. Then an HDMI cable from the recorder to the TV.

How to connect it
- Run an aerial cable from the wall socket to the recorder's RF or aerial in.
- Run a second, short aerial cable from the recorder's RF out to the TV.
- Connect the recorder to the TV with HDMI, then retune both.
Worth knowing
- Not every recorder has an aerial out socket. If yours doesn't, use a two-way splitter from the wall socket instead.
