dohanlon

Hi folks

I need someones help. I need someone to record Wuthering Heights (Ralph Fiennes) on Sky DraRomHD on 19th July at 9.55am and provide it to me in full HD (we can discuss the best way of doing that). I will pay a fair and generous price.

I need the film in HD for a college project Im working on

If you can help please let me know

Can't see why it has to be in HD.

Are you sure Sky are not just upscalling anyway? Often they do.

I'm pretty sure you don't need an HD recording from Sky (which is impossible in HD BTW*) for any college project.

(*Nearly impossible)

Thanks for the reply

Im aware of the buying options. It must be the 1992 version.

Im looking for HD because I will be displaying stills in HD. If they are just upscaling it's not going to be any improvement. For that reason I need HD for a college project - if it's actual HD

If it's actual HD it will be significantly better.

I know it's not as simple as one would assume, but with the right gear it's easy enough.

What you are asking is against copyright law.

dohanlon

It is not illegal to record a programme and use that for educational purposes in either the UK or Ireland. That is covered under fair use in copyright law. If I was to exhibit the film or distribute the film that would be illegal. I am doing neither, and be sure no university in this land would allow students to breach copyright.

You are asking someone to record something for you so you can buy it off them.

dohanlon

Correction. Pay them for their time, effort and materials. Not for the programme, which is being used under fair use.

If you can help great if not thanks anyway for your time

Its illegal for someone to sell you a program that they recorded off the tv, regardless of what your intended use for it might be or how you phrase it its still copyright theft. The law you refer to only counts if you were to record it yourself.

Its not easy to get a recording off of a UPC box anyway (does UPC even have that channel?), and the only real way to do it (playback and record to recordable DVD) will result in quality loss, so youre better off to buy the movie on Blu Ray if you can, as the quality will be better for what you want.

1) It's extremely unlikely to be HD
2) There is no legal/easy way to record Encrypted Sky HD to get HD stills, only poorer than from a DVD. Other than maybe photograph the screen on the sky box.

Buy the 1992 DVD and take stills from it. Even if Sky really is showing it in real HD (unlikely) you'll only get x2 to x3 quality as the only simple way of getting it out of the Sky Box in HD is to photograph the screen.

Getting someone else to record the whole thing for you (how do you get it out of Sky box?) isn't fair use. Sky box will only let you record from SCART in poorer quality than a decent DVD.

UPC boxes won't export HD either.

I checked the EPG - it is in HD - not upscaled.

It's not possible to record Sky to Blu-Ray disc via HDMI due to HDCP.
