If I buy a DVD recorder, will I be able to record what's on my Sky+ memory? How will it be connected?

Thanks

Should be able to and SCART would yield the best results.
i.e. one of those big chunky connectors.

If you're asking whether you can copy a video file from the sky+ to a PC, then I believe that there is only one piece of software that can do this... I don't have the details though!!

It's been asked before on PH though, so someone will be along to help

IIRC correctly some of the contect (especially films and pay per view) is protected using some sort of protection (Macrovision), so this might not always work.

But, for other content it works fine. I recorded all the footage from Le Mans last year onto video via scart and it worked a treat, Sky+ even provides some facilities to join multiple programmes together and stop playback being interrupted by reminders.
