Hi all, I've read the previous threads on this popular topic, however had a specific question that I didn't see already answered.
I have Sky SD subscription with 'Variety' and 'Sports' packages and an older Sky+ SD box. I've just bought a 'used' Amstrad DRX890W HD box which I would like to use with my existing SD subscription, which I understand I could achieve by pairing the new HD box with my existing card. I have a question about the programmes stored on the old Sky+ however. I understand that once I pair my card with the new box it will no longer recognise the old one. That's OK because I intend to use it as a freesat box in the kitchen without the card inserted, however I want to be able to access the media recorded on it eventually. Can I still record this off to DVD by using the viewing card later, even after I've paired it with the new HD box?
I'm aware of the freeware app to copy the drive to the new box, but would like to hear of other options first (no PC or Sata enclosure). Thanks for any advice.
