As an earlier post suggests Hauppage is likely the best bet.<BR /><BR />Murdoch's Sky output is tightly controlled (encrypted) - with commercial off the shelf products you are going to have to re-convert analogue video from a set top box into your Vaio. Shame, 'cos a Vaio would make a better PVR than a set top box. <BR /><BR />Take a look at <A href="http://www.satellites.co.uk" target="_blank">http://www.satellites.co.uk</A> - there seems to be an answer to your need there based on one of the Hauppage USB digital TV interface cards - try a Google for ProgDVB, yankse and fenrir.<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Sun, 18 Jul 2004 00:29:01 GMT https://community.sony.ie/t5/pcs-accessories/recording-from-sky/m-p/116626#M127828 vaiodon 2004-07-18T00:29:01Z Re: Recording from Sky+ https://community.sony.ie/t5/pcs-accessories/recording-from-sky/m-p/116627#M127829 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Many thanks for all your help - it seems insane that the machine records in digital then will not output in digital but hey thats Murdoch for you.
