    i dont think there is any quick way, ( i needed to copy programs too) and you cant want another channel on sky neither there is intructions in the sky+ manual how to COPY but it tells you that you're not able to watch another channel whilst recording,

    no . in my setup the dvd recorder hangs off the sky + when you sent up the recording what happend it plays and the dvd recorder works if you try moving channels the sky box thinks you have changed you mind on the recording and stops outputting to the DVD which in turn carries on recording what ever you have put on to get away from Simon cowell
