hi
similar problem here when i tried to use an mx7000 with a v8000 and dvd1
the sky box thro the v8000 wouldn't work, maybe a software problem, so 2 options:
1 use a b&o expander at around £200 new
2 v8000 in to av1 on mx then use a scart to rca lead scart at sky/freeview box and rca's into camcorder sockets --- a little messy in operation as need to fire up vcr from tv with bl1000 etc then enter vcr menu and find the page with camcorder as source select and away it goes , but need to use sky/freeview remote
this works successfully here in france for me , also have a belkin scart source selector between the vcr and sat boxthis has a permanent connection on one of the input sockets which is overridden when another source plugged into the uniy is activated in my case french freeview when that source is switched off the original sky/freesat drops back in
As previously a little lumpy i operation so to speak but it does work well!
hope this helps
more info contact me
salut
tony
