Why bother with improving picture quality? Are you really asking that?

know what he means, surely Eastenders aint that much greater in HD

Can i conect my sky box to my laptop and copy it this way using the hdmi cable.

It's probably no better in colour than it would be in black and white either, but that's not really the point.

use the usb connection and copy onto laptop then use convertex to copy on dvd

it wouldnt be good in blu ray neither

and how do u do that

It's a shame they don't make a Sky+HD Blu-Ray Disc Recorder box. They'd probably ship for about £1,000.

YOu can buy blue ray recorders now, that would do it I think. About £800

You can get a scart to USB cable

This would allow you to stream straight to a pc/laptop/media recorder with appropriate capture software.



My dvd recorder has a HDD so it makes it easier plus I can do basic video editing on it.



If you have a SKY HD box then you could get hold of a video capture card with HDMI input and do it that way. Does a SKY HD box have a USB Port?

You mean i can get it in colour

I'm guessing your laptop's HDMI port is OUT only, so I'd say no... Might be wrong tho
