TV recording box- can you record programmes from Virgin Media cable and on demand

lexa34

Hello,

Just read about this:

plug-in box that records programmes to a hard-drive -i.e Fusion FVRT95 for £66.14, including delivery, on www.ebuyer.com - you get to keep programmes to watch at your leisure, and can also pause live TV, just like Sky+. But for free.

Does anyone know if you could use it with Virgin media as thye do lots of on demand stuff and it would be cool to record some of the whole series they do so when my contract come to an end I can watch programmes I have already paid to see!!?!

Hope this makes sense.
Thanks in advacne if anyone can advise me here.:rotfl:

It doesn't seem to be discussing if you can record from on demand?

Thanks

It links to various discussions on the subject, there's also mention of it recording analogue signals but not digital unless you purchase the next model up. Though it's all a bit accademic as the company has gone out of business so won't be updating the machine and what with the analogue limitation it seems it will only work untill the analogue switch off and then it's useless for its purpose though you maybe able to strip the harddrive out of it and use it as an external drive in its own right.

You may do well visiting: http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/ or more specifically: http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/56/ and searching for 'record on demmand' or 'archive' etc, there have been numerous posts on the subject of saving out recordings from the V+ box so I'm sure there are ways.
