Hi Folks.
I'm new to the forum, so hope you'll all bear with me if this topic has been covered before.
Virgin have recently installed me a V+ box to replace my ageing (1992 vintage) analogue Telewest box.
My previous TV/ DVD recorder setup was always run without an aerial as
these old analogue boxes (as you probably know) would allow recording of any terrestrial channel while watching any cable channel or vice versa.
In fact I no longer have an aerial.
During installation of the V+ box it was immediately obvious that the time signal to my DVD recorder had 'dropped out' and their fitter could not explain why; the time signal always being fundamental to its function as a recorder.
While I appreciate that the V+ box far exceeds the recording capabilities of the DVD recorder, is the DVD recorder now ONLY of any use as a player ?
