Copy+; Yes or no?

    Apologies in advance if this is a repeat topic; I did a quick look through the first few pages and couldn't see any related topics. Anyway, I was wondering if anybody out there uses Copy+ to copy transfer recordings off their Sky HD/Freesat PVR hard drives onto their PC. Is it feasible and fairly idiot proof? Also, I think i read somewhere that you cannot view said files on your PC. Is that so? Any advice would be welcomed. Cheers.

    I havn't used it, But i do know you cant watch stuff back on a pc, all files are encrypted.

    Thanks for that John. And what about the Freesat recordings. I have a Foxsat PVR, and you can copy recordings onto an external USB Device, but not if they're larger than 4GB. Any film or sports event (even some recorded in SD) will be over that size. When you copy files from the Foxsat you can view them on a computer using VLC player.
