Circuit arrangement for applying an antenna signal directly to T.V. receiver and bypassing a VCR

A circuit arrangement for optionally applying an antenna signal to a receiver section of a video recorder or to a television receiver connected to said video recorder, comprising:

• a switching device enabling the antenna signal to be applied only to the receiver section of the video recorder and to be passed from said video recorder to the television receiver in the blocked state of said switching device, and enabling the antenna signal to be applied directly to the television receiver in the conducting state of said switching device wherein the switching device comprises a series arrangement of at least two capacity diodes which are alternately connected in opposite polarity, and, in order to bring the switching device to the blocked state, a low potential is applied to the connections of the anodes of two consecutive capacity diodes in the series arrangement, and a high potential is applied to the connections of the cathodes of two consecutive capacity diodes in the series arrangement.
