Sky + recording to dvd?
Since I got my Sky + box I can no longer record anything to my dvd recorder. I have tried 3 different dvd recorders and keep getting a recording prohibited message or something similar. Can anyone help as there are certain programmes I like to keep on dvd.

Re: Sky + recording to dvd?
Are you trying to record the output of the TV SCART or the VCR SCART on the Sky+ box?
Are you trying to record live output or are you using the archive function?
You should be able to use the VCR SCART to archive stuff from the Sky+ box to a VCR (or, in your case, a DVD Recorder), that's what the function is for. It has to be real time archiving of stuff which is recorded though.

Re: Sky + recording to dvd?
I've tried recording without using scart, just throught he tv tuner and still no joy. Where do I get a microvision remover? I've tried recording the progeams as they happen and also pre recorded ones and noy joy either way. I appreciate all the help.

Re: Sky + recording to dvd?
It's a "macrovision remover", and if you actually look at the back of the Sky+ box, you should be connecting the DVD recorder to the "VCR SCART", which is usually the bottom of the 2 SCART sockets. Either that, or the DVD recorder you're using really doesn't like you trying to record from Sky.
