If you have a Panasonic dvd recorder. it should have a button called external link.
This will allow auto recordings of AV2, this should be the NTL box. If you don't watch pure garbage bye this I mean you only watch preset programmes and not just leave the box on 24/7. (messing up the ratings system)
Programme the samsung box for a tv show then turn the box off with the remote, put in a DVD-ram disk then press the external link button on the dvd recorder. if the recording didn't work you need to change the setting in the dvd recorder for external link. (edit = or use the HDD, stupid Panasonic site.)
If it did record you can play it back any time, even when the next programme starts recording, just press play.
To stop auto recording press external link again.
you've got up to 8 hours space on DVD (depends on model, disc sides. Bit rate setting and layers)
video plus is just algebra codec for the start time, date, channel number, finish time. the DVD recorder won't know what channel the Cable is on so it needs to learn. it does this by asking once per Tv channel normaly. (you have to tell it, what channel on the dvd recorder the cable is on, not the cable TV channel number, How many channels are there on Cable)

Extra.
Page 50 of your manual explains the set up options for external link (Ext link).
option 2, I think, might be best.
