V6 (Virgin) set top box recordings onto a DVDr

[SilverSurfer]

If anyone out there has a V6 set top box (Virgin)

How do you take the recordings off the box itself and onto a DVDr directly from the box?

As the DVD Recorder has a different scart socket to the one on the back of the*V6*set top box grrrrrrr

No techies on here then?

Bad news I'm afraid it seems that the 'Scart' socket at the back is disabled so only a HDMI output is supported, getting a HDMI-Scart lead/converter to connect to a DVDR is probably a nightmare scenario, if the V6 has a USB socket see if you can transfer to a PC and burn a dvd that way.

Thanks for your reply



Maybe it was disabled for copyright reasons ?

Given that when everything went digital (from analogue) you would have thought that recording something off the tv (and onto a disc) would be like the older days and now they have to make it so complicated and so difficult!!
