Re: what does a DVD recorder need for connection to Virginmedia cable TV?
I use a Wharfedale DVDRHD400 DVD/HDD recorder with a Pace 4010 STB.
Anything that can record via a external SCART source will work. An analogue DVD/HDD recorder will work. A digital recorder refers to Freeview reception. If your daughter has freeview reception then the extra cost(£5) is worth it. If the recorder has 2 Scart sockets then it should work as one will be for external input.
The Wharfdale DVDR24HD160 is £150 now or £155 for the freeview version, but you are paying extra for HD(High-definition) which she won't be able to use without a V+ box and a HD TV.
The Acoustic Solutions DVD80RW300 DVD Recorder is £100 at Argos or £120 for the 160Gb version, but I don't know how good/bad they are. The internet can be good for finding out what other people's experience of equipment, whether good or bad.
