[kylie773]

Hi
can anyone help me im new to this vast system. We have recently moved to were we are and brought our sony Tv and a Sony HDD PVR with us to use here where we already have the satellite receiver DSD4121 hooked up to an existing tv and now wanting to use our sony tv in the other room. I have to get another reciever to go with this tv but can i use my existing sony HDD PVR with the reciever or would i have to buy the new vast PVR one and get rid of my sony pvr one altoghter.

Thankyou
Kylie

Is the Sony PVR a terrestial stb with an inbuilt or external HDD because unless it has AV IN to allow recording from another devise, your out of luck.
You can record from a VAST stb into a VCR or anything else so long as it has AV inputs BUT with only ONE tuner, you can record ONE channel and thats the channel your watching.
Just to clarify things, can you give the model number of that Sony PVR please?
If the Sony PVR is a Terrestial PVR then I would seriously consider buying the PVR version of VASTfor the other TV you have.

You can connect the VAST box to a VCR or DVD/HDD recorder with an AV input.

If your device does not have this you can get your VAST box's software upgraded to the PVR version, then u just add a USB external hard drive to the USB port on the back of the unit.

If I have read the Sony site for this machine, it has Inputs on the Front, possibly under a drop down panel you can connect to the similar ones on the VAST.
