Therefore sky + is propriatory rubbish to be avoided at all costs.
Clearly to tape 2 ntl sources you need 2 ntl boxes and 2 recorders

mdean, have you ever had Sky+ in your home and used it for a while in order to judge its performance and features?
There is a difference in quality between the various platforms and my experience is that NTL is the worst of them, particularly in hot weather. Others may have different experiences with the various systems but having tried them all I know which I prefer.
If you want decent quality recordings then Sky+ gives you recordings of the same quality as the original transmissions. Do your solutions do this? VCR recordings are of a much lower quality than Sky+ recordings but if you are satisfied with less than the best take that route.
Sky+ may only be usable on Sky but as Sky is the best platform (in my opinion) the that is no problem.
