has it got scart sockets?
I use a DVD recorder with Virgin. It can only record whatever programme the Virgin decoder is tuned to, though its Scart.
So I have also attached an aerial lead to it so it can at least record 1/2/3/4/ off-air.
If I was buying another DVD recorder I would get one with its own Freeview tuner, then it could record any programme it could tune to instead of depending on the Virgin box. Panasonic make some good ones but they are not so cheap.
Now that I can get freeview there is not much point in paying for a Virgin decoder, but they throw it in free with my phone and broadband subscription.
I believe Virgin have their own combined decoder and recorder box that you can rent at extra cost.
