I'm sure you will be able to record it.
We've got a recorder (not a freeview box - just a recorder) and we can record prorammes from TV onto either the hard drive, DVD or VHS. They can then be copied from any one of the 3 onto any of the other 2 - so you can copy from hard drive to DVD and VHS; DVD to hard drive and VHS; and VHS to hard drive and DVD.
Handy lil' machine - useful for copying your old videos onto DVD :)
