David Kelly 1346 Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 I'm finally getting the + this week and I'm just wondering if you can copy things you that you have recorded onto a porn drive (and if so how) and how much space is on a standard box.

RlCO 0 Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 The early box had 20 hours, but now it should be 80, although there's this gay thing where it records stuff for 'anytime', I don't know if that fucks with our space or not. There is an option to record (copy?) stuff that you have saved (red button), but I don't know what that means, it can only mean record though surely. I don't have that much of an urge to save my scat movies so I don't know....In short, I can't help you but I felt good trying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo 175 Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 I think the current SKY+ systems have 80gig drives, which should give 40hrs recording time, the only way of getting any of the material off is via a VCR or DVD recorder,IE play the recorded material whilst recording using the other device, I changed the hard drive in my system once and I tried the old SKY+ drive in a PC and I'm pretty sure I couldn't open any of the files to view.

RlCO 0 Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 I think there is an S-Video port on the sky box, like I say, I'm not that much of a scat freak, see the asswipe thread for helpers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Kelly 1346 Posted December 17, 2007 Author Share Posted December 17, 2007 Cheers lads, 40 hrs should be just about enough until I can get a new DVD recorder to copy off any stuff I need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jusoda Kid 1 Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 Almost sure the cable V+ boxes are 80gb and they've got 80 hours recording on so the sky + boxes must be 40gb. There's an option on the cable boxes where you can record to DVD so I would imagine the sky ones will do the same, one way or another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For about 100 bucks you can upgrade the box yourself to a 250Gb machine - Clicky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RlCO 0 Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 Old Sky boxes were 20, newer ones were 80. Then they introduced Anytime TV which records a selection of programmes to your disk, and I'm still not sure if this limits your own free space.
