Our local Tescos were selling sub-ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£100 DVD recorders last week. Wasn't tempted to buy one because I don't have the readies available.

However, I wondered whether these cheapo DVD recorders can do the business for recording TV coming thru the NTL decoders, so that I can watch programs at a later time?

Haven't used one before, nearest I can come is a VCR which I assume provides broadly similar recording capability.

I suppose what I'm asking is whether the signal on the decoded side of the Pace box is a standard video signal, or whether it's encrypted in a way which would mess up any means of recording the signal.
