Hi,
From what I could find out there is no way of getting the encrypted data
from the hard disk directly to another hard disk on a PC.
The only way that I could see that it could be done is to replay the desired
recording and to capture the recording from the video out of the Sky+ box
into a suitable connection on a PC. This would entail having some sort of
full video capture software on the PC itself.
If anyone knows of a way of doing it I am more than happy to be found
incorrect on this.
This may not be the case with other PVRs.
Regards, John

Hmm, so there's no way of transferring a recorded program to a DVD or a
video tape from the Sky digital box internal memory? That doesn't sound
right. Sorry if I misunderstood what you're saying.
Cheers,
Amro
