Is there any way?

Can I transfer programs from my Sky+ box to my PC??? There's a few films I want to burn to DVD, but not sure if it can be done.
Thanks for any help

    Do you have a video capture card on your PC?

    If so you could play it through your PC and save as an .avi

    I believe the recorded data on the Sky+ is encrypted so I dont think a simple transfer is possible.

    Its possible but you have to remove the HDD from the Sky + box to connect it to your PC and you also need some software.
    Best advise as above or get a cheap dedicated DVD recorder.
    That gum you like is coming back in style.
