Copying programs from a SKY HD Box ?

A mate of mine has a SKY HD box and he has a couple of recorded programs that he would like to be able to save to his PC. It's a Sammie box. Is this possible and if so what's the easiest way to go about it ?

What format are they in mate?

I can't remember of the top of my head mate I will let you know when I turn my laptop on as it's very rare I use it as I would just watch it through the box. I taped sword in the stone on Disney hd I will try that and report back

You will not be able to do this on a Sky HD box if its from an encrypted channel.

It is possible from FTA channels such as BBC and ITV.

Check here for info ....

Using this prog .... its also possible to transfer all of you programs from the HD in the old box to the HD in the new one.

Both channels are from ITV and the Beeb so that's all good then !

surely if your looking for the easiest method to get the programs to your pc you should be looking to download from the 'net..?
