I am currently the only person in the world without a DVD recorder, HD recorder or even VCR and I have just about managed to survive until now.

Unfortunately my cousin has gone and gotten selected for the Commonwealth Games in an event which will only be shown (for sure) on one of the 5 or so interactive streams the BBC is running for the games at about 2am. I can watch these streams fine through NTL, but unlike their Freeview equivalents, tuning to the stream does not cause the STB to re-tune to a new channel (i.e. it stays on 101, 102 etc...)

My question is if I had a, say, DVD recorder tuned to the channel from which I pressed red and selected the appropriate stream and then hit record, would I record the interactive stream or my starting channel. If this would not work out, is there some other way of recording the BBCi streams?
