SKY+

[Winkle]

Does anyone no wether or how it is possible to record onto a disc from sky+? I havent got a dvd recorder but was thinking if there was a way i could upload to my P.C and burn a programme to disc...any help!!

Without a DVD recorder I believe the only way is to get yourself a hard drive that connects directly to your TV.
They ain't cheap and because they have made the casings so small the noise from the cooling fan/s is unbearable. (compared to a PC)

Expect to pay about £200.00



Example

actually i think you can buy a usb cable linking the sky+ box to your pc

Straight from the box to PC via USB is a possibility.......if the Sky+ box has a USB connection.

Googled it and found no reference

Been looking at this: Could you not get a TV card for the PC. Connect SKY + to standard video, standard video into PC...? Some TV cards on Ebay, might have a dabble..........

Edit: Ok, bought one for £14, as soon as it comes I'll get back with the results.

i looked into the usb think and it cant be done because the usb ports on sky boxes arent activated for anything (they are there incase the mobile sky ipody thing comes out)

you can get dvd recorders for 40quid now so might be worth looking at that, i am because that way it will keepp the quality instead of sticking it onto vhs

All you need to do is use the Firewire port on the Sky+ box and link it up to your PC.

Then get some video capture software and job is done.

A firewire cable.

They come in different shapes and sizes but either a 4/6/8 pin version depending on the ports on your Sky+ box and PC.
