record one sky channel and watch another?

Question

Is there any way to do this without getting sky+?

I've already got sky, and am looking to buy a DVD recorder.  I want to get one that allows me to record one sky channel while watching another.

I think I need a recorder with twin tuners to do this - does this exist?  And will it be able to work with sky?

Thanks in advance.

you need a dual feed from the dish and 2 recievers

If there is only one cable going up to the dish then no that is not possible unless you are recording sky and watching a regular channel (e.g. bbc1)

Getting a second box for a different room in your house might be an option, but I'm not sure if it would be cheaper just to get sky+.

Get upgraded to SKY + and this will allow you to watch one channel whilst recording another . It will also let you record 2 channels if your are out. In addition to those facilities it has a few more tricks as well .

there`s an option on sky+ that you select if you want to transfer anything you`ve recorded on the hard drive to dvd/video. its quite simple as the system tells you how to do it.

Sky have a good encription system on all box's you would have to get a big fancy computer enginere so i recomend just geting sky + if you really want it if not just try to suffer on without it :D

Not as straight forward as that, you need 2 feeds from the dish as well!
