Hi guys
I'm thinking about buying a SKY HD Box and I have some questions, hopefully you guys could help me out with.
1. The box will be connected either by an HDMI to DVI lead or an HDMI/DVI adaptor. I think I read somewhere that the box comes with an HDMI to HDMI lead. This would mean, with me already having a lead..an adaptor would be the right choice. Does it matter which of these ways it's connected and will I lose any quality over an HDMI to HDMI lead?
2. I understand you can record SKY to the built in HD. Is there currently a way of transferring this content to DVD disc, or my laptop?
3. If I buy the box '3rd party' (seen it £100 cheaper). Is a technician call out still needed?
4. Assuming there's currently no way to transfer content from the HD. Will I lose any quality while using a DVD Recorder..to record to DVD disc?
Here is my TV:

720p, 1080i. I don't understand much about these, but I think they are important for receiving HD signals. Do they look ok to go?
Thanks for reading guys and any advice would be much appreciated
