Thinking of getting this and wondered if you could play a video and then tape it onto Sky plus through the tv?

Don't think so, no. Will ask DH - he will know I expect. Can transfer other way though.

Don't think so.

Gobbledigook · 24/11/2005 11:41

No, you can only sky+ what is on the sky channels.

NannyL · 24/11/2005 11:54

my charges ahve sky+ and its great..... you go through the Tv guide and click in all the programmes u want to watch and it records them.

Bummer- have a lot of kids videos and want to get rid of my recorder when we get sky +- trying to think of a way round this apart from paying oodles of ££ for someone to convert them to dvd for me.

DVD recorders now relatively cheap but don't know how much it costs to get someone to do it for you.

cocopops · 24/11/2005 12:09

Fair enough - sky+ is way better, but DVD rec has it's uses in addition. Our Sky+ was one of the first lot so smaller hard drive than the ones out now, I think.

NannyL · 24/11/2005 12:18

sky+ has limited memory so i dont thik you d want loads of videos on there, otherwose no room to record anymore

DaddyCoolNippingAtYourNose · 24/11/2005 12:22

sky+ is the best. it's a gift from the gods.

BudaBabe · 24/11/2005 12:25

We have Sky but are in Budapest and shouldn't have it here. Anyone how how if we can upgrade to Sky + sneakily?? We do pay full subscription through an Irish address!

Or could we get UK Freeview - would be willing to pay TV licence of course!

Racers · 24/11/2005 12:27

LOL Daddycool. It is the single best bit of kit DH has ever got, it's fab. Live pause = genius

Gobbledigook · 24/11/2005 12:29

Love it love it 'what did he say', 'dunno, rewind it'

Racers · 24/11/2005 12:30

Never watch adverts. The list of pluses is looooong!

Can I be cheeky - if you're ordering online can I request you order via our schools webshop:
www.buy.at/RothwellStMarys
Just click on the link for Sky - our school will receive commission on that sale.
there are no catches - it doesn't cost you anymore - the money comes out of Sky's marketing budget.
Thanks in anticipation - a parent just trying to raise funds for school!
