SKY HD Recording
 

Hi all,

Is it possible to transfer what you have recorded on Sky onto a disk, films etc?

Ive got the new sky 3d channel and want to keep the 3d content on a seperate disk incase the sky hd box crashes.

Ive had an engineer come round and he had 3d content on a usb stick, i know sky hd box has a usb slot somewhere but obviously its not meant for transferring what you have recorded to usb, or is it?

any help appreciated as always.

Nope - I've asked / researched before...


And wouldn't you need a 3D device capable of storing the content?

You can use the "VCR SCART" to archive stuff to VHS/DVD/HDD recorder, but it'll be SD only using composite video. No HD, no 3D. Some stuff may also be protected & unable to be archived.

yup..I understand that most people use scart lead..and record onto dvd etc

i of course never ever do that :|

Re: SKY HD Recording
 

If you weren't meant to do it, Sky wouldn't give the box a specific "VCR SCART" & wouldn't give the box software an actual "Archive" function.

Of course, you're probably not meant to keep archived content for very long...

...yep - you can do that - completely pointless to do so though...

Oh - and you forgot to mention it's a realtime copy.... :mad:

It would be useful to record movies, to take on holiday.

But yes, scart must be for something..:D

If its not possible how come my Samsung engineer had it on USB that was from the Sky 3d channel? He didnt work for sky, am i missing something?

Re: SKY HD Recording
 

Well if thats true then he must know some trick / secret of the Sky HD box that nobody else knows about.

Just because it was content showing on the Sky 3D channel, does not mean that the engineer acquired it *from* the Sky 3D channel.

The Samsung engineer may have been given content on a USB stick as a way of demoing the TV's 3D features.

I would assume that Sky are working with Samsung & the other 3DTV manufacturers, as they all need each other if this new gimmick is to work.
