ive sky+'d quite a lot of films and the whole 5th series of lost, which im yet to watch, but i am moving in a month and rather than getting charged a re-installation fee i am considering cancelling it and getting the missus to take it out in her name, so i get a new box, maybe even a HD one! does anyone know if you can copy the stuff on the sky+ box to your computer as i can see there is a usb port. any help with this one guys? many thanks in advance!!!

 

on ur planner screen when u go through ur programs it has a "copy" button........but i dont know what it does/how it works....

 

yeah ive seen that, but like you am not sure!!!

 

im pretty sure u can copy to an external hard drive, n ill pretend i didnt hear u say wot u were gonna do lol. im back at work 2moro (i work for sky) i can find out for deffo for u

 

you could use that box as a multiroom

you wont be able to view if the card fitted isnt plus enables, i think it'll still let you view if you have an active card (ie your new 1) even if its not paired


either way there is software on net that helps you do it

 

lmao!!!! ok thanks! just dont wanna pay 60 odd quid again and still have me old box when i could get a new shiny HD box and take advantage of a nice new package lol!!

 

No chance of copying any of your planner unless you've got a DVD recorder and a stack of DVD's. Plus you'll have to spend a good while recording the stuff onto disks as you have to play the entire shows for it to record properly.... In a nutshell.

 

i see, lol! best i just watch whats on there then!!!!
