TV guilde data is downloaded via RF antenna.

DVD-RW
vs
DVD+RW

This format war is now over as multi format DVD recorders/players are cheap. PVRs dont allow you to keep TV shows they will need to be erazed for more room at some point.

Scart leads do allow External equipment to send signals to controll equipment to allow auto recording On DVD recorders. so you only need to set the cable box and only press 1 button on the dvd recorder, its called Ext link on Panasonic models. Sony will have there own version. The only problem is The NTL box planner is so limited in the number of days.
so it will need a IR blaster built in, if such a model is available, to record From NTL. This catch 22 is why so many want NTLs PVR just and only for The EPG that should already be included on the samsung box by default. But thats also why it cost more per month as they have to pay out for the EPG data and make a profit, even internet EPG cost money per year to use.(as an Eye TV user i got 1 year free.)
