    Have you tried the sky+ system from sky. Records on to a harddrive not DVD.
    I use this and transfer stuff that I want to keep on to a DVD on my own time.

    yes i have that but i want to record at the same time as the programme is on but be watching somthing else while its recording. if i record with the sky+ then id have to transfer it to dvd after which would take a long time as its golf i want to record. I dont know if i can get dvd disc's to record 4hrs of play doe.

    I had a dvd recorder which recorded to disk but the laser collapsed after a year. The disks were limited to 2 hrs at std quality and 1 hour at higher quality.

    Rather than buy another one, I bought a satellite receiver which records to an external 500GB hard drive via USB.

    DVDs will record on long play for 4 hours. You could set it to record from your Sky+ to DVD when your going to bed.

    If you wanna watch a channel on your Sky while recording another channel you'll need Sky+ no two ways about it. To do this you need to have two inputs going in to the box.

    Since Sky are crap they don't give you a USB connection to easily transfer your recorded files/progs and they're heavily encrypted I think.

    You should get 4hrs on a DVDr but the rule is 1hr highest quality, 2hr standard quality and then it varies after that but you can squeeze in up to 6hrs I think.
