Smile what does a DVD recorder need for connection to Virginmedia cable TV?

I am new to this forum. I want to buy a DVD recorder, possibly with hard disk for my daughter who has virgin cable.
She wants to be able to record one programme and watch another one.
Shops give me conflicting messages.
Can you do this with a simple analogue DVD recorder?
Or must you buy a digital DVD recorder?
Some said it must have twin tuners. Others said it only needs to be digital as the cable TV is digital so you don't need twin tuners.
My daughter's TV itself is not a digital one.
I had considered buying her the Wharfdale DVDR24 with HDD160GB but at nearly £200 didn't want to find that it would not do what I wanted.
You can't get your money back from Argos.
I have just read another posting on here where someone has had difficulty connecting this same product.
If a simple analogue one would record one/watch another it would be much cheaper.
Advice would be helpful before I buy.
Thanks B
