How can I record?

My BT Vision box is playing up and I am told I need to factory reset the box to sort it out. If I do this all my recorded programs will be deleted.
Is there any way I can record thee programs onto my MacBook Pro or some other media please? Can I play them and record them from the box or TV????

We're going to need a bit more info about the box. Knowing the model number would help but at the very least we need to know what port/connections are on the box.

Glad you found your post. All you needed to do was follow the re-direct arrow. And please observe the forum descriptions before posting. The lounge area is for off topic discussion not for the subject you posted.

On the back there are the following sockets:

Sorreeeee! I didn't see the re-direct arrow and had no idea from the titles where to post! Any way, sorted now!

Just realised that I can "watch" programs on my computer via iPlayer so is there any way I can record these while watching??? Clutching at stews here and all this comes from my son being one of the pilots in "Worst place to be a pilot" on Channel 4.

i don't think you can record what you are watching but you can download programs with Iplayer downloads.

Many thanks, I'll certainly give that a go!

OK, installed the program but unfortunately the program I want to record is on Channel 4??
