Sky+ Copy feature 31 July 2008 at 6:19PM in Techie Stuff 2 replies 909 views

A friend of mine from work recently has Sky+ installed - and has found that when he tries to use the copy feature to transfer stuff to DVD, it doesnt work.
He has listed his programmes, started to play them and it just stops after a minute or so and refuses to play anymore.

Anyone got any ideas what could be wrong????

I am not very technical and my friend doesnt have the internet so I offered to look on google but found nothing, so I thought I would post here and see if anyone could shed any light on it for me.

Its a bug that was introduced with Sky anytime and autostandby.
it also screws with your aspect ratio.
Best not to use it.
Just manually play stuff back.

Get the DVD recorder teed up and ready to record.

Then, on the Sky+ box, press "Play" instead of "Copy" and start the DVD recorder recording manually.

It works fine.
