| 691568 | 2008-07-24 01:08:00 | That says it all really, . I have sky digital and would like to be able to record a programme while viewing another. Or, record a series of shows from varying channels while we are out. I think you might be able to if you get one of those Sky HD recorders (my sky???). However, I don't want to fork out the $500+ to do that. Anyone got a solution to this vexing problem? Thanks Rob |

Only thing I can think of - multi room. May well be the cheapest option too. :( Edit - note to self - refresh page before posting after coming back from lunch. :D |

Actually that is how I unstood it as well, but some previous posts on this topic have been confusing making you think you could do it either way. Glad you have pointed that out. :) |

| 691573 | 2008-07-24 02:36:00 | Depends what channel you are watching & what you want to record. With free to air on a seperate aerial, you can video any of these while watching sky, or vice versa. Without the sky box no - you cannot watch a sky channel and video another sky one. | Peter H (220) | ||
| 691574 | 2008-07-24 02:40:00 | As I understand it, you have to pay $600 up front, then $15 a month, just to rent it. No, it's $49 up front then $15 a month for the MySky recorder or $599 up front. Then for either option you pay a further $10 to get HD content. |

| 691575 | 2008-07-24 02:46:00 | Depending on what you want to record one or other of the programs is often repeated at some unlikely hour so you can record at different times. The Sky decoders can be set to change channels at a particular time. | PaulD (232) | ||
| 691576 | 2008-07-24 02:51:00 | No, it's $49 up front then $15 a month for the MySky recorder or $599 up front. Then for either option you pay a further $10 to get HD content. From the Sky tv (www.skytv.co.nz) website (Option 2): $49 installation fee plus $15 per month Or a one off $599 joining fee This surprises me. We are talking about MySky HD, right? |

| 691577 | 2008-07-24 07:02:00 | With MySky and I assume MySky HDi you can record two channels and watch one off planner (stuff you have already recorded). I could not live without it. Best $600 I ever spent. |
