Switching from Ditigal+ to Digital+HD box

kilns · 2010-11-16 16:08:50

I have decided to downgrade my current TV package with UPC, basically getting rid of the movies and sports which I hardly watch, so I am going for the Value HD+ package. An enginneer is coming out to me on Saturday to set up the new box Basically my question is will I lose all the programmes which I had saved on my old box…

No way of saving them digitally, no. You could make an analogue archive of them all onto a DVD recorder by playing them in real-time via the SCART output if you're that desperate.

Maybe cancel the switch to the HD box? You'll only get one HD channel on Value anyway - BBC HD.

You do get a HMDI output though with the DVD HD+ box, so at least the SD channels should look better.
