Hi Andy,
There is no socket directly to do that, nor can you connect it directly to a
PC to do the same.
The only way round it is to have the DVD device in your chain of connections
between the Sky+ box and your TV. You then need to play the film and record
at the same time.
I spent quite a bit of time researching this on the internet, but still got
no-where.
There is s good newsgroup for Sky+ if you use Newsgroups. It worth
subscribing to. Look for Sky in the list of newsgroups and it is obvious
which one it is.
Regards, John

Hi again John.
Can you answer what may seem a daft question please. That is; Can you
attach a DVD Burner to the SKY Plus device for when you wish to make a
permanent backup of a good program or movie?
Best wishes.
Andy
