The recorder incorporates both analogue and digital tuners. You must select one. The

Note
Beginning in 2008, analogue broadcasts in the UK will end area by area, with all analogue broadcasts
scheduled to end by 2012. After analogue broadcasts end in your area, you will not be able to use hookup C
to view TV broadcasts. At that time, change to hookup A to view digital broadcasts.
