Pioneer 630
Is it feasible that you could set the pioneer to record whatever is being played through a sky digibox over a 24 hour period
ie if you selected the record option could it record constantly? or could you set a timer recording to record a daily programme from say 05:00 to 01:00 If this was the case then you theoretically the box would replace the oldest recordings with the newest? Or would this constant use ultimatley kill the box? |

Yes, but only for 12 hours.Quote:

I think the timer route is the best way of doing what you want because of the 12 hour limit.Quote:

I don't think the manual says what happens if the disk gets full, but presumably it just won't record any more. It shouldn't damage it.

Sounds like the guy needs Sky+ or a Freeview HDD recorder rather than a Pioneer

[size=2]cant get sky+ as I can't get two feeds. Want sky for the extra channels you don't get on freeview - this seems to be the best compromise[/size]

However, it is possible to set up the box to record (e.g.) 05:00-17:00 each Monday, with each recording over-writing the previous Monday's recording. (To do this, set the destination of the recording to HDDr instead of the usual HDD.) If you do this, then whatever is output by the Sky box would be recorded onto the hard disk for a week. The MN15 setting (3 hours per blank DVD) will allow you to record over 22.5 hours per day for 7 days onto your hard disk before it gets full. |

The additional feed is on the new LNB supplied when you get Sky+ installed? I have Sky+160 ,a Freeview HDD recorder and a Pioneer HDD recorder so I am not biased toward either,but with Sky+ the following is possible that is not possible on the Pioneer: Watch one satellite channel while another records Record 2 at the same time....and watch an earlier recording Record in 5.1 Live pause Live Rewind Series Link No red dots on anything...ever |

But i live in an apartment with a shared dish - there are no spare extra feeds. From my understanding I cannot get sky+ with this configuration -unless you can advise different.
