About this user: I have a Panasonic Dvd-recorder DMR 50. Telewest recently upgraded our analogue tv service to digital. Apparently the Dvd-recorder will not work now due to incompatibility problems. Any suggestions?

RE: DVD-Recorders are not compatible with Telewest Digital TV?

At last problem solved! Telewest have just replaced the digital box with a PACE box and it works again. Whilst i`m chuffed it has been solved, it did take at least 6 calls and 2 call-outs before being solved. In the end I had to tell them that i wanted the box replacing. V.Poor
Thnaks for the help folks

RE: DVD-Recorders are not compatible with Telewest Digital TV?

Just got off the phone to Telewest National advice centre. The woman i spoke to said that this facility has not been enabled yet as it is a new system. She also suggested that this would apply to videos too- which i can`t believe. Either way- what a shocking system or badly trained staff. We are stuck with them as we have no bt phone line or aerial but i`m totally disgusted with their shodiness.

RE: DVD-Recorders are not compatible with Telewest Digital TV?

According to my wife, who met the engineer, Telewest uses a type of copy protection for all of its channels. When i tried to record, after an inital statement saying it was not possible, all I got was static. The engineer suggested that some people have got round this by changing the code- i assumed this was a type of dvd hack. I`m confused!

DVD-Recorders are not compatible with Telewest Digital TV?

Just had Telewest digital tv upgraded from analogue and have been told that our DVD Recorder (Panasonic DMR E50) will not work due to chip conflicts?. Any ideas if/ how to get around this?
