I am being pestered by Virgin Media to upgrade from an analogue
service to a
digital service.

I am concerned that if I did upgrade I wouldn't be able to -
set the video timer to record programmes whilst I am out
view one channel whilst recording from another
Am I right in being concerned

No. Switching to a digital service will not change your ability to do
any of those things.

You say <<Switching to a digital service will not change your ability
to do any of those things.>> At the moment I can record from any of
the terrestrial channels but have to switch to 'cable' to record from
any of the cable channels. This means that should I want to record
from cable I could only record from the one channel. This is why I'm
concerned that all the terrestrial and all the cable channels will be
lumped into one and that I will not be able to choose to record this
from BBC1 that from BBC2 and something from ITV1 etc

No, that won't be a problem. You will still be able to record from the
standard terrestrial signal. Upgrading from analogue *cable* to digital
*cable* won't affect this.
