769915 2009-05-01 05:42:00 Currently I record F1 races off Sky onto my PC's HDD via a TV tuner card, and after editing, burn onto DVD.

We are about to upgrade to MySky HD and I want to know, will I still be able to record/edit/burn?

I'm not seeking HD quality.

Any advise/comments?

If you using the composite or s-video then you should be fine but if you are using the coax/RF out then it won't work as the MySkyHDi doesn't have the RF out.

You should be able to still do the same. I do that with MySky (non HDi), it works fine. I record to MySky then playback at leisure and capture it to the PC. Or I can do the same live whichever. I do tend to playback/record a recorded version and knock out the adverts with fast forward.

769920 2009-05-01 11:16:00 Ignore my post above.

After some searching on Google, I was able to locate and download the MySky Box User Manual :)

769921 2009-05-01 21:38:00 Zippity I use a switch box in the lounge. Cables from splitting MySky go to Port 1 and Cables from Sony DVD recorder/player go to Port 2.

I just select the button for which port I want to send through to my Office PC so I can record from either.

DSE 4-Way Universal Audio/Video Switch Selector
I have another one in my Office for sending Video back to the TV.

Although I got high quality cabling done years ago it is not good enough for HD but the quality is adequate.

Maybe I will get the cable guy back one day to run HDMI through the walls between Office and Lounge:-)
