Record From a Virgin Box ?
 

I missed recording a favourite Ch4 program I wanted to burn & keep, can anyone tell me if it's possible to record it from my Samsung Virgin box on 4OD to my Sony DVD/HDD recorder please ?

you cant record content for On Demand. If i am wrong im sure someone will correct me but AFAIK you cant do it

Re: Record From a Virgin Box ?
 

It is protected content.

Re: Record From a Virgin Box ?
 

At least 1 make/model of DVD/HDD recorder can, namely Wharfedale DVDRHD400. It appears to be a design bug(ie undocumented feature).

Re: Record From a Virgin Box ?
 

Only BBC and ITV do not content protect the material on the Catch-up portion of VOD. FIVE goes further by only allowing viewing via HDMI on most of it's content.

Thanks Guys,
Think i'm waiting for the repeat ;)

Just did a successful test record of parts of a Ch4(The Bank Job) and a FIVE(CSI:NY) programmes via SCART.

Re: Record From a Virgin Box ?
 

Was that with a Wharfedale DVDRHD400, from 4oD ?

Re: Record From a Virgin Box ?
 

From catchup, but the same thing applies. It works with On Demand(4oD, US Boxsets, Sky Anytime, FX etc) and it even works for PPV. Anything that uses Macrovision copy protection. I bought one initially from Argos, discovered the undocumented feature and when it went kaput(power supply board), bought another off EBay.

OK, Thanks

I have recorded films from Sky Movies on My Panasonic DVD recorder/PVR/HDD via scart no problem at all.

Re: Record From a Virgin Box ?
 

Thanks for that,
Its worth a try, nothing to loose ;)

Re: Record From a Virgin Box ?
 

This is how it works on the Wharfedale, so it's something to try if it doesn't work normally.

You start recording in One Touch Recording mode in 30 min blocks(eg 30min, 60min, 90min etc as required), then bring up the HDD menu or something that fills the screen(eg play DVD). Then start the programme on the V+ that you wish to record. Return to the menu on the V+. It will end up as a recorded programme on the HDD, you can then transfer to DVD.

I have two scarts on mine one is for input (AV2) I just choose this as the channel I wish to watch and press the one touch record button until the required amount of recording time is reached.

Re: Record From a Virgin Box ?
 

The OP wants to record programmes from VOD, not from normal streamed channels.

Re: Record From a Virgin Box ?
 

I am well aware of that I have recorded films from sky anytime using the method above with no issues. Maybe I should have been more precise ,but the OP seemed to understand.:)

Re: Record From a Virgin Box ?
 

I would have thought Sky Movies may protect their output ?

Re: Record From a Virgin Box ?
 

From what I can work out most content providers are mainly worried about the copying of HD content and as scart can only carry sd then that could be the reason why recording is not a problem.
