Default Sky+ , moving a recorded program to a pc .... HOW ?

How do you get something you have recorded on Sky+ onto a pc.

I want something off there that recorded, and only want to keep a few seconds of it.

Anyone have any ideas?

TIA

Take the hard drive out, attach as slave to your PC then crack the encoding as its encrypted, basically, don't bother.

Also have you tried to find the clip on youtube

I was in the same position tonight with a clip from big bro (my gf watches it religiously). Wee verne going full speed into a door on his mobility scooter.

Quite possibly the funniest thing i have seen this year

pmsl we've set the recording to keep just for that clip. few rewinds for that .

im sure it'll be on youtube tommorow

I will join the sad bus, it was funny, but lets get to the serious point at hand, why did Sky demand no manufacture of its hardware to not incorporate USB into its motherboard? The Sky+ box could be so much more, transcoding movies off USB devices and routing to network via cat cable were/are not employed, not even hard wired?? waht were they thinking?

Possibly if that linked it to the motherboard it would make it alot easier to do firmware changes making sky have the whole dilema like virgin have at the moment with these "chipped" boxes.

Just a theory

Wasn't there an option on the Sky+ boxes to Copy a programme via the Scart to another device like a VCR/DVD Recorder/PC video card? From the Planner select the recording and press the Red button to Copy it out from the Scart to whatever you have connected. I've not tried it but would love to have a couple of recordings captured onto a video file.

You are quite correct, I have just been through the copy sequence, the last info box reads that you set your VCR to Record.

I would guess that this means that you can also record to a DVD-R, which should then be easier to rip to a PC ?

same here (in the night garden), but playing over my tv network and recording with windows media centre directly onto my server, then converting to mpg. basically the same thing, but a different way round as i don't have a recordable dvd player next to the sky+ box
