Sky+ Question

Hi

Can somone tell me if it`s possible to watch programs recorded on a Sky+ box in another rooms using a magic eye?

Also. I have been told that certain programs, not just Sky Box Office films, are encrypted so cannot be recorded onto a conventional DVD recorder - is this true?

Many thanks

Yes you can, but as with normal sky you have to be watching the same thing in both rooms.

I have not tried recording a box office film but as fas as i know they use macrovision to prevent you from recording them.

All the best

Gerald.

Yes, the Sky Box Office movies and several other channels use macrovision, but you can get round it by using a Sonel Macromaster SCART lead. ;)

yes you can have as many as 4 tv sets onto one box (with enough eyes)
so you could have it around your house. we have three sets on it as one broke
and one dvd recorder region free and macro free.

good luck



the memory of you will bloom like the flower in the garden of my heart
