Hi
We have just been given a free DVD Recorder the model is Panasonic DMR-E55EB .
Will this hook up to Cable and we be able to see all the stations so i can use it properly .Or is it a case of it will only record of one channel and it has to be watched .
What in earth is the point of making Dvd recorders if they cant be used properly via Cable ? .

Ive tried hooking it up but it doesnt find all the tv stations ,seems to find just one and i have to then use ntl remote to change what we want to watch .
The tv incidently is a Thomson 32 inch widescreen ,it is a few years old now though .

What do you have to buy now if you want to be able to use all of this equipment properly via Cable ? .Do the new HD teles also have this problem with Ntl ? .How do these work with cable ? .Do you download the film to the HD and then put it onto DVD at a later date ( when you have time ) .
