No, that isn't possible.

"DVD recording is impossible", says Jomtien. Latest bulletin.

No, "decent recordings" via scart isn't possible.

You can get close, but that is all.

The NHS postcode lottery is much more deserving of this debate
than Sky+ subscription fees.

No, because the postcode lottery is indeed a lottery.

The same is not true of the Sky+. Quite the opposite in fact.

In that case they can get cable or record from DTT.

It has been explained to you many times that satellite is the only
source that many people can receive.

I think you just missed the point. Try again.

Why should I be excluded from broadband greater than 1Mb? That's
the way the cookie crumbles. Life ain't always fair.

You aren't excluded from this, unless your phone line is too long

In that case you aren't excluded from DTT. Thanks for playing.

What on earth are you talking about?

It's quite a simple point.

Not digitally, with the quality and ease of use of a PVR.

But you still haven't told us why you want to do this, other than
the fact that you want it because everyone else has it.

Because it is higher quality

Granted. But decent equipment gets you a perfectly acceptable
recording over scart

No, it doesn't.

Yes, it does. This is now a battle of opinions and therefore
meaningless.

As has already been pointed out, many cannot receive the
mainstream terrestrial channels without a Sky box.

What's that got to do with Sky+?

For those people it is not possible to make a bitstream recording

So make a very acceptable recording over scart instead.

Not good enough.

For what?

Who doesn't have the choice?

Those who don't live in a Freeview area yet wish to make bitstream
recordings of the main terrestrial channels.

So maybe those people could wait a few years?

Why should they have to?

Why should I have to wait for LLU on my exchange? People in London
have broadband speeds 20 times higher than mine so I want that right
now!

Do you know nothing about Sky HD and HDMI connections?
Pure digital, all the way.

Well Sky HD (having no terrestrial equivalent) is a somewhat
different argument.

No it isn't because DTT-HD exists

Trial services don't count.

It only differs in content availabilty, not in functionality.

The difference being that Telewest HD does not HAVE any content at
all. (And they charge you £15/month to record it digitally.)

So, not so different to SkyHD then

SkyHD does not have any content? More breaking news.

Let's pursue your argument a bit further. Let's suppose that all
the VCR makers gang together and introduce a monthly fee for VCR
use. Will you pay it happily?

If the products are sold on that basis and if, on balance of the
features and benefits offered by the product, I consider it to be a
good deal and I choose to pay it, then yes,

You're just being silly.

Then he's obviously trying to fit in.
