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.
