I am unable to auto tune my Tevion DVD Recorder

I don't have one But from the site I looked at it's only a Standard tuner so no digital channels.. sorry. here's the web link. http://www.cnet.com/products/lg-rh397h-dvd-recorder-hdd-recorder-with-tv-tuner/specs/

I'm a bit confused about what you are trying to do? DVD recorders don't tune in to TV's anymore. They output the signal to the TV via a connector such as HDMI. To record the recorder will need an aerial feed etc, which can be split using a splitter between what feeds the TV and Recorder.

switch tv to the input mode you have conected dvd to e.g ( AV or EXT ) if dvd is a recorder one have you put areal in back and tuned in dvd recorder

OK - its all sorted now -

setup > general settings > channel > autotuning > auto tuning (DVB & Aanalog)/ DVB Channel setup

You should have the main aerial going into the dvd and then a black flylead going back into the tv.If you go into the on screen menu you find a set section so you can re-tune the stations.

thethe wires have to run out of your cable box into the dvd recorder then back out to the tv,try rehooking it up

You have tuned the dvd recorders channels? dont forget a recorder dvd/hd/vcr is actually a tv set without its own screen and to record from channels you need to have its on board channels tuned in... what you have been probably doing is using a function on many recorders that records direct tv... what this means is it records the feed back signal through the scart lead of what ever channel your tv is tuned to at the time that is why no tv on = no signal

we have a tdr 930 tevion dvd recorder...we have lost the remote so the thing wont work..we have tried a universal which worked on everything but the tevion dvd recorder....

Hi there!
If the DVD recorder has an RF out then you should be able to tune it on UHF bandwidth. The cable should run from the RF Out on the recorder to RF on the TV. Switch the recorder on, put in a DVD and press play before tuning. Some DVD's require a disc before a Menu appears. Good Luck, Regards, JUS004

You CAN record one channel and watch another with satellite service, but it would require two separate DBS receivers. The issue is that all satellite broadcasting is encrypted until it hits the receiver, which decodes it and transmits it outward toward your other AV devices. If it weren't for the receiver, connecting the coax cable to your other devices and trying to tune channels with them would yield no signal and possibly much frustration. You would need to split the signal into each receiver and have one connected to the television via one input and the other to the recorder then to the TV via another input.

With cable, you can split the signal without having to have two boxes - this way the QAM tuner in the cable box is still capable of tuning channels while the recorder can tuner basic cable channels for recording separately. You can also have the cable box connected to the recorder via composite so that you can record premium stations on a DVD recorder input mode anytime you like - but you would have to be watching that channel at the same time unless the DVD recorder had a pass-through RF signal (rather than a composite clone) - meaning you could also use coaxial to your television from the recorder and tune channels separately on your television while the recorder is recording one channel.

A lot of what-ifs there, but it is all quite possible.
