Have you got a spare TV you can plug the old Sky box into? If you do and can
bring up the menu system then you should be able to burn to DVD. The trouble
is that I don't know if the menu is only activated with a live feed..

It's a long time since I last used this title!
Anyway, the knowledge is probably out there, somewhere.
The TV techie had to be called in, last week, as our Satellite channels
were playing up. Sound would continue but picture lock up. Then we
started to get "no satellite signals detected". He eliminated the dish
end of the setup, since he was getting good signals. That left the HD+
unit. It's a Sky supplied box and he was quite scathing about the
quality and poor life of the units. So, he's coming back later to instal
a replacement. No problems so far.
However, it's just dawned on me that the existing unit's HD is about 50%
full, with recordings that SWMBO wants to keep and that I've never got
round to recording to DVD. With the old unit removed, is there a way of
downloading the recorded material to this PC, so that I can move to DVD,
when time and inclination permit?
