Can i copy programmes from my sky+ to my pc?

BaileyB

I have files on my Sky +hd box which i want on dvd but i dont want to buy a dvd recorder as i know i would not use it enough.

So is there a way i can get the programmes on my pc?

thanks

Only via a TV card/dongle or videocard with TV input on the PC.

The video on the sky+/skyhd boxes is encrypted to prevent copying to other devices, so you only have the normal video outputs on it.

You might be able to get a cheaper composite capture card and could copy them across that way...

there is a programme called copy+ that people use to back up their sky+ HD to PC, but I dont know if you can copy specific programmes or if you have to do the whole HD in one go . More info ( from people who know more than me ) on digital spy and here : http://www.skycopyplus.co.uk/

That is only for copying the contents of one hard drive to another. It doesn't allow you to view programmes as they're encrypted and no method to decrypt them currently exists.

Unless you were to run them into a video in and capture them in real time using video editing software.
