Copying off virgin TV

[samtan]

Hi there,

Has anybody got some advice on how to copy off my V+ box, on to my laptop?

I'm trying to get round, not buying a DVD recorder for the moment!

Can i use a laptop or anything else?

Thanks

I have read that some people have managed it with "Dazzle DVD"
but you would also need a scart to composite & stereo L/R adapter to connect the V box, as the usb has been disabled on the box
and a lot of space on your hard drive,
honestly though it's a lot of messing, it would be much easier to buy a cheap or second hand DVD recorder.
you can copy to VCR if that's any use

Ok thanks does sound more hassle than it's worth!!

maybe you can use something like this AVerMedia AVerTV Global - TV Tuners, Media Player, IPTV and Multimedia Products - DarkCrystal HD Capture Station

At a cost of ?200, it would be cheaper to buy a DVD recorder

once Virgin launch there new tivo box you would have better luck with that
