Hi,
I recently had to have my Sky Plus box replaced as it went fauoty, this meant I lost some of the stuph I had stored on there. I want to make sure this doesnt happen again and understand I can connect an DVD writer and export the stuph I want. If this is so, can anyone recommend the best one to buy? I currently have the Sky Plus box together with a Bose Lifestyle for audio and and Phillips LCD TV. There is one spare Scart socket on the Sky Box.
any help would be greatly appreciated.
Just a thought, I also understand there is a USB port on the Sky box, is there any way to connect a USB peripheral such as a Hard Drive and export th that instead?
Again - thanx lotlsy

Just replaced it with another Liteon because the old one had no component outputs for better connection to my TV and the new one was so cheap and looked better. They are on offer at Tesco for about £70 (shop, but not online I believe). It's this one:

thanx for the very swift responses, great help, will go grt me a DVD writer
I do "copy" in the sky + planner, which sets it off playing the programmes I want to record.
Then I set the recorder to record "AV1" (the scart socket) and jobs a good 'un.
The quality is pretty good too. Recorders generally let you specify differnt recording lengths: 1 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours or 8 hours.
Quality on anything over 4 hours isn't that good. 2 hours is pretty much DVD quality.
Maybe we should ask from SKY why
USB port is disabled :rolleyes:
Many modern PVR-boxes are possible to connect to computer by using USB 2.0 port
Which ones are those then?
presumably because they don't work - after all sky are notorious for adding supposed features 'for future use' - have any of them ever been followed up?
