    While the hard drive inside a sky+ box is a normal PC hard drive, and can be plugged into a normal PC, from what I know, the information stored on it is encoded, so I don't think you will be able to view it on your PC. Plus, when you plug it back into the sky+ box, you'll have to reformat the drive.

    I think the best approach is to burn a DVD with it on, then rip it to your computer. If you don't have a DVD writer with that TV, borrow one?
  • DVD writer with a tv? is there such a thing?

    Knew it would not be easy.....typical isnt it

    O well...will keep trying

    Ones like these.
    Otherwise, as far as I know, there's not going to be an easy way. Someone else may know, though.
