As per the title, I need to get some footage off of a Sky+ box and so will have to play it and record it back off the TV. I understand this is the only way to get recordings off a Sky box for others to watch, is that correct?

Anyway, I'll only need the DVD recorder for a day or so, which makes me reluctant to purchase one, unless some one has one available cheap?

My bro picked one up on ebay with a (HDD in it too) for £5 on ebay last week.

I bought a brand new panasonic one (also with HDD) from Richer sounds (ex display) for £100 a few weeks back. For exactly the same reason as you.

and you cant find this tv show/episode to download on the internet to save you some money?

It's a Motors TV show, is that likely to be available anywhere?
