How can I connect my DVD Recorder to my Virgin Plus box?

Question

Many people have asked similar questions but I have trawled the aswers and do not have a clue what they are talking about. So you may have to imagine your talking to somone in a nursing home.

All I want to do is put stuff from my Virgin hard drive onto disk. I can watch DVDs fine but the record feature just does not work no matter how I connect it up. If you recomend a lead that sounds like it fell off the SS Enterprise could you dumb it down please, I'm still trying to get over colour TV.

Thanks.
