Sky+ copy
 

When copying recorded programes from my sky+ box to my pc so that I can burn
them to DVD I use the sky+ "copy" button. But what is the difference in
using "copy" as opposed to simply playing the programme: either way my pc
captures the material.

regards,
Paul

with copy you can have a number of shows run in sequence while you are not
present - saves a lot of time.

the old fashioned way - you need a video digitiser / tv tuner card etc.
i use a simple usb2 device -doesnt cost much.

just your usual usb2 digitiser/grabber/ whatever the word for it is these
day.
i use a belkin one but i dare say there's loads on the market.
having said that, a dvd recorder and then sticking the dvd into the pc is a
whole lot easier - if not cheaper.

It doesn't really matter, it will be cack anyway if it's USB.




nonsense - USB 2 has more than enough bandwidth to capture uncompressed
s-video.

What about FTA channels? Presumably it just saves the transport
stream? What do you see if you put the hard disk in a computer?



you can open your sky+ box and pull out the HD if you want - sounds a bit
much like hard work to me.

True, but all the USB devices try to capture mpeg2 in real time. Which
always looks cack. For it to look anything like the original broadcast
you would need something that captures miniDV, and those are all
Firewire.



but how do you get mini dv out of your sky box? - other than owning an
adapted one.

I use a Canon MVX460 mini-DV camera (with passthrough) so stuff from the
TV goes through the camera and is captured by my laptop (using Edius).
If you already have a camera with this facility you just need some
capture s/w.
