They work in a similar way, but not exactly the same

As DVD Recorders (AFAIK) only have ONE receiver, you can only record ONE program, whereas Sky+ can record TWO programs simultaneously. You can however, watch an already recorded program whilst recording another program.

Hope that helps.

Get a dual tuner PVR instead of a DVD recorder. They work EXACTLY like $ky+, so you can either: watch one thing and record another; record two things at the same time and watch something you have already recorded; pause live tv etc etc. Mines got a 500Gb HD which will let me record about 300 hours of programmes...
