Recording Problems!

[polesel31]

hey guys,

I just bought a Toshiba D-RW2 all the features and everything seems great, I'm really happy with it except for on thing, when I record, all I record is static. Alright now for the specifics, I have a Magnasonic TV which most of you guys havent heard of, it's a pritty good TV that I bought for $200 about 5years ago, it doesn't have audio video inputs so I bought an RF switch. I connected it and I managed to get into the Toshiba menu, I autoprogramed all the channels. So what I do is I put my tv on channel 3, then I turn on the DVD recorder and from that point on I attempt to flip through the channels. As I flip through the channels the tv screen is just blue with no picture. So from that point I will put it on a channel through the DVD player and press record even though I can't see anything. Then I stop the recording and I attempt to watch it and all I can playback is black static.

So any help would be appreciated,
Thank-You,
Daniel

P.S. Seriously guys I would not even be asking for help if Toshiba's tech support would acctualy pick up the phone after having me wait on hold for around 4-5 hours a day, for a whole week! So please someone help!

You don't have any RF signal coming into the DVD Recorder.

Try plugging the cable from the wall into the recorder's RF input.
