Why can't you? Surely you could write an app to access the FAT of the Sky+ HDD, so you can see the stream. The next problem is decoding it. That would be difficult as you point out the snowballs in hell and modular sky cards scenareo, but ultimately not impossible in time.

I'm sure this can be done with the SA8000 as that must record the decoded stream as you have quality options, thus it is already possible in the US, the biggest market. That box has Firewire and USB2 on it so connecting the HDD to the PC must be a breeze.
