It depends, if the box output can be set as composite video (CBVS) then
yes. However, some Freeview boxes etc. output RGB which will not be
convertible by a VCR. I think you can get a modulator, or make one.

Though, it would be very rare if a PVR or a freeview box did not output
composite video from its SCART.

For not all SCART sockets on the back of TV sets supported RGB in, and
then CVBS compatibility would also be required for users chaining other
recording equipment such as VCRs, yeah mainly for Freeview/Sat boxes but
even using a PVR as source.

At least 2 of my PVRs have a menu setting to select RGB or CVBS - CVBS gives
the clearest picture, I would have expected exactly the opposite!

Anyway the PVR was set to CVBS and I didn't have any problem.
