My questions are:
1 - Is it possible to record Virgin cable programmes thru a standard Vbox onto a DVDr / HDDr machine ?
2 - If so, how can i do it ?
Many thanks for your help in advance and Happy Christmas !
Cheers

Hi,
here are your answers
1) yes as I am doing it, but remember you can only record the VM channel that is currently on.
2) Not a techie but Scart out from the V box (VCR out) into the scart in on your recorder. then when i record I am recording to L1
hope this is of some help,
PS welcome to the forum

You won't be able to get the HDD/DVD thing to change the V box channels, so you have to set both the V box and HDD/DVD to run separately. That makes things a bit limited as the V box EPG (programme guide) is only 1 day.
