to record multiple channels from cable you need a V+ box. the tuners in a DVD recorder are for terrestrial (aerial) signals only.

To record multiple programs from an aerial you need a twin tuner DVD recorder preferable a Digital one as analogue is going to stop by 2012

If you plug a dvd recorder into an outside aerial and a standard cable STB you would be able to record the program the STB is tuned to or any channel from the aerial connection
