I have a Sky+ box and a sony DVD Recorder

I'd like to know if a couple of things are possible:

1) to record from Sky in live play mode directly onto a DVD whilst
watching another channel on Sky. For instance if I want to record a
film on Sky Movies 1 whilst watching a programme on E4 is that
possible.
2) to write onto DVD something already recorded onto the Sky+ box
without having to play it back full length. Is there a feature where it
can write a full film onto DVD in a matter of minutes as if you were
writing a DVD on the PC?

If anyone can help that would be great.

Merry Christmas
Jo.

No and no, as mentioned, and both for the same reason: the Sky+ only
outputs one thing at a time, in real time.

Only the truth as I see it.
No monies return'd. ;-)

Ok. Nevermind. Thanks for your help though.

Have a great new year.

I think that sentence would be improved without the last three words.

Hi Jomtien,

Good to see you back. Where've you been all this time?

He's not back, a server glitch a few days ago reproduced postings from this
time last year back into here, and some other Usenet groups. Look at the
header date of his post.
