Two reasons. First, the Verbatim box is highly unlikely to be able to record from HDMI.


Second, even if it could, the copyright protection built into the HDMI spec would probably prevent the owner copying most of the programmes Sky broadcasting. HDMI (unlike DVI and VGA) is designed to enforce copyright protection at every step in the system.
