Record From a Virgin Box ?
I missed recording a favourite Ch4 program I wanted to burn & keep, can anyone tell me if it's possible to record it from my Samsung Virgin box on 4OD to my Sony DVD/HDD recorder please ?

Re: Record From a Virgin Box ?
At least 1 make/model of DVD/HDD recorder can, namely Wharfedale DVDRHD400. It appears to be a design bug(ie undocumented feature).

Only BBC and ITV do not content protect the material on the Catch-up portion of VOD. FIVE goes further by only allowing viewing via HDMI on most of it's content.

From catchup, but the same thing applies. It works with On Demand(4oD, US Boxsets, Sky Anytime, FX etc) and it even works for PPV. Anything that uses Macrovision copy protection. I bought one initially from Argos, discovered the undocumented feature and when it went kaput(power supply board), bought another off EBay.

Re: Record From a Virgin Box ?
This is how it works on the Wharfedale, so it's something to try if it doesn't work normally.
You start recording in One Touch Recording mode in 30 min blocks(eg 30min, 60min, 90min etc as required), then bring up the HDD menu or something that fills the screen(eg play DVD). Then start the programme on the V+ that you wish to record. Return to the menu on the V+. It will end up as a recorded programme on the HDD, you can then transfer to DVD.

The OP wants to record programmes from VOD, not from normal streamed channels.
