So video plus only works with analog TV?
Yes - Correct.

She is already getting Freeview at home
In which case she will be able to use the EPG system which is good... and she will have access to record a much greater number of channels.
I'm sure she will find it even easier to use than videoplus.
The process is this:
On the remote, press the Green EPG button. All the channels and programs available for the next seven days are displayed.
Navigate to the programme desired, using the 'North, S,E, W, buttons', press OK,
This will show a timer screen with all the timer parameters already in [ and can be adjusted if required].
Press OK again. This commits it to the timer memory.
The timer will accept 32 Programmes up to one month ahead.
Then the machine can then be switched to Timer standby.... and then still used for other playback and copying functions.
It is much more complex in the reading than the doing . There is no substitute for 'hands on'.
Each screen also carries guidance notes about what to do next.
I think she would get used to it very quickly indeed.
