Does anyone know how to move recorded items off the Swisscom digital box to either an external HD or even to DVD.

I have items that are getting deleted before even viewing them and off course there are a few items I would like to keep to watch again later.

Thks.

It is a bit fiddly, but I have done it without any issue -

You will need a SCART lead and a DVD Recorder - or the kit you want to record to.

You will need to do some trial and error, but I have managed to create entire compilations of programmes on my LG Recorder from my Swisscom box.

Alternative is to ensure that the settings are set to that programmes are not deleted when the box reaches capacity.

Stuff recorded in HD take up twice the space of a normal broadcast.

I know somebody who has struggled with this very task for quite some time now. Do you mind telling me, how you did it?

To my knowledge, you cannot move any programmes to a ext. HDD - in fact it is impossible to do so, so rule this option out completely, unless you have some top of the range VE software and a decent spec PC.....

I will have to have a look at my Video set up again -

It is a bit fiddly, but through trial and error it works for me everytime without an issue.

If I forget, give me a gentle nudge to remind me - I will have a lot on in January!

You can and it is straight forward.

BUT you must copy as an analog signal: eg: play the movie out the SCART connector from the Swisscom box, and then record on the recorder via a SCART connector.

Of course, you loose quality, and it is a hassle.

But it is not impossible......

I replied on this some time ago, and it still works:

Swisscom TV plus to DVD?
