Anyone know if this can be done or good forums to post this type of question
Thanks much

Originally posted by SPDChessOf course it can be. The Sky box has analogue outputs so you can always use them as a last resort. Just need a video capture card, some software to err capture video and you're good to go.

Just buy a Sky+ box.

Originally posted by SPDChessI hate them too. The modem in my Sky Box died 1 day after the warranty was up on it and they wanted to charge me £75 to fix it. I popped onto eBay and picked up a brand new box for £25.

Originally posted by Daemon SinThat's one of the things that p*sses me off. Lived in the states most of my life, had cable for years, using various companies and if THEIR equipment broke which prevented me from getting the service I paid for they would replace the box. Done! So many little things like that over here you just wouldn't get away with in US.
