From what I understand you can get tivo streams to your PC so you could burn them to DVD.

The other thing is if I recall correctly the Sky+ box does *not* have two 'tuners' . It has two LNB inputs allowing you to see two sat streams at once, and if you record, it simply dumps the stream to the HD - no decoding, or encoding is done. So as you only are able to watch one thing at once, you only need one decoder. I suppose the LNBs are 'tuned' but you get what I mean. This is obviously different from tivo, which encodes a video stream, just like the DVD recorders, so if you wanted to make a DTT DVD recorder, you'd need two tuners, and the associated codecs.....

As as someone already mentioned, your sky card then decodes the 'incoming' stream....
