    You cannot use this to record from any source other than the built in Freeview digital tuner.

    If you want to record from NTL cable you would need a DVD recorder.
  • b ugger Any reccomendations is it not possible to record to any hard drive with cable?

    A normal hard disk recorder should do it. You can get them with DVD recorders and/or Video built-in.
    Ever get the feeling you are wasting your time? :rolleyes:

    Yes any DVD recorder with or without a hard drive will record from NTL cable. You will need to set a timer just like a VCR.

    ntl will be releasing their version of the telewest PVR at some point. I belive that it'll be before xmas but don't hold your breath (there's a lot of work to be done yet).

    Might be worth waiting for that if you folks are not in a hurry

    This is an excellent machine to get for normal freeview (twin tuner) channels.

    Highly recommended but not for cable as said above.
