It’s quite a hassle, and I think the DVD recording option is easier. The idea is to use either the SCART or composite ports to output media to a video capture card. This option is a little trickier and can be expensive. When recording to a DVD, the Sky Box can’t be used for any other service. Sky allows you to copy programmes to DVDs but you need a DVD recorder. I’ll briefly mention them below: Sky to DVD Recorder While it’s against Sky’s terms and conditions to copy files, there are a couple of possible workarounds.

What size USB stick for TV recording? Record from Sky Box to External Device:

The update doesn’t apply to all Sky devices. Previously it was blocked much like how the USB port is blocked. Note: Some Sky Boxes received an update that allows data transfer via the SATA cable. You can use the USB port to charge a device, but data transfer is not enabled, so copying files to a USB stick is not an option. What is the USB port for? As it turns out, the USB port on Sky HD was supposed to be used for a modem. Unless you can accept the risks involved, I do not recommend opening the Sky HD box.

It doesn’t act like a regular PC hard drive. The internal hard drive is mainly designed for temporary storage, so you can playback through TV, catch up on shows, and skip commercials.
Next, open a Sky file management program such as ExPVR or Copy+ to manage the files (more on that later).Īs I mentioned earlier, Sky doesn’t want people copying files.
If neither the SATA or USB port work for data transfer, what you can do is open the Sky Box, remove the internal hard drive, connect it to a USB adapter, and then connect it to a computer. The problem is most of the files will be encrypted and unwatchable on other devices. You can connect an external hard drive to a Sky HD Box via the SATA port. Can You Connect an External Hard Drive to a Sky HD Box? After playing around with my Sky HD Box, I discovered some interesting features that might solve your problem. Why? Sky doesn’t want members to copy files because of copyright laws and licensing issues. In theory, it sounds simple enough, but it’s actually not as easy as it sounds. Can you move the files to another hard drive? You might be wondering if there’s a way to manage the files on the hard drive to either free up space or backup recordings.
If you use the recording function on your Sky Box, there’s a good chance the internal hard drive is almost full.
