It records HD from satellite Optus 1 ( the same as Sky) and upscales SD to 1080. You record to an internal hard drive (from 500gb up to 2gb) and you can also record to your DVD recorder (to burn a disc) or VCR or pc. Besides all the Freeview channels you can also get SBS HD and SD which has very good movies and programmes. The full demonstration and service after I bought it from Freeviewshop have been first rate. | Krad (7878) | ||

Skys feed is special and normal decoders can't access it as it's encoded. |

I know that Sky is encoded but what I said was that the PVR feeds from Optus 1 which is also used by Sky. HD comes from SBS1 and other channels as it becomes available. |

Not via satellite. |
