Hey guys

I have an interview recorded on my Sky+ box is there any way of getting it transferred to a data pen. Thanks for all the help.

There's a USB port on the front of some of the newer sky + boxes but I don't think it does anything but I might be wrong on that.
You might get some advice here:

I think you'll have to get the recording to a pc before you can get it to a data key.

I think the whole point is that it's difficult to get recordings off a Sky box to try prevent piracy.

There is a composite connector for video and an audio connector at the back. There is also scart that could be hooked into a PC video/audio input. I don't know if they would work. In the past they have added a signal to confuse VCRs to prevent them recording via Scart or composite.

It would probably be easier to set up a video camera on a tripod, high tech/low tech.

Even RTEs player is encrypted to stop people "downloading" the content.

You could hook up the sky box to a dvd recorder. Then use software to convert the dvd file to an avi or something.

I use a DVD recorder and it works very well.
If it's only one item you want converted there's not really much point buying a DVD recorder.
I found some info here:
