I read in this month What TV that Panasonic are supplying two models of Blu- Ray Hard drive and disc drive combo recorders by this winter.......Each one having twin freesat tuners for recording HD material and SD alike.......

My question is assuming they are affordable any time soon is if anyone knows will it be possible to record subscription free HD channels such as CH4 and BBC ets via a Sky satellite HD reciever or will recordable HD only be available from freesat tuners.......

All HD channels are copy protected, so you may not be able to copy them at all - and certainly not from a Sky HD box (with the possible exception of an old Thomson box with Component outputs).

It 'may' be possible to make DRM single copies on an integrated Freesat/BluRay machine - we'll have to wait and see.

Saw this in a shop in France this week. Blu-Ray Recorder, twin tuners, 500Gig HDD. Just shy of € 1500. 3 pack of 25Gig BD-R discs € 25.
