Copying Sky to DVD

Hi all,

I have a Sony RDR-HXD995 250GB Hard Disc Drive DVD Recorder, and Sky HD. How, in very simple terms, do i set it up to copy what i have recorded on my SKy box onto DVD?

What connections do I need? How do I connect the 2 things?

Many thanks

  • Instead of putting the scart from sky into the tv put it into the aux (or input) scart socket in the back of the DVD recorder.

    Should be simple from then on.

    If the DVD is tuned in already.

    The scart lead goees from the VCR scart connector on the back of the Sky+ HD box to the TV scart connector on your DVD recorder.
    Play back your recorded programme and select the aux 1 or 2 input on your DVD recorder and off you go.

    You don't 'tune' any in to achieve this.
    That gum you like is coming back in style.

    The downside is that you can only copy in real time and you can't watch anything else on Sky while it's copying.
