Even with SCART, you have copy protection in place. Any HDMI to SCART converter will honour that copy protection, so you are back where you started. HDMI devices are covered by licensing, and part of that requires the manufacturer of any device to include copy protection(HDCP). Some manufacturers ignore that and simply strip out HDCP.

IIRC Freeview SD transmissions are not copy protected, Freeview recorders did(and maybe still do) allow dubbing of a recording to DVD or transfer to computer with no loss of quality and complete with subtitles.
