Movies from Sky+ box to laptop

lacroupade · 22-04-2011, 11:12

I know its feasible and there are various ways of doing it, but just wanted to know if anyone here has had hands-on experience of dumping a movie from Sky+ box to laptop.....I'm guessing I need a PCMCIA TV card or similar but as its only one hard-to-find film I didn't really want to go to that expense unless I have to....

capture card should do it

I have virgin cable recorder box, what is the movie, I may be able to get it for you.

what film is it?

lacroupade · 22-04-2011, 12:21

I've got the film on my Sky+ box - its Black Sky, really amazing film about the first private space flight by Bert Rutans team.....excellent watch and I wanted to put it on DVD for my dad (he's a luddite LOL). Been shown on Discovery a few times but can't find the usual torrent or I'd get it that way.

sadly one of the dodgier torrent sites that just points you at pron, or torrents on other sites that require sign-up and payment.

click 3rd link to the right that says Download torrent from our bittorrent database.

i'm told that Torrent Butler is the best strting point for movies. Not that I'd indulge in illegal downloading myself. Oh no.

I have yet to find a free torrent site thats 100% reliable. I use one thats got relatively closed membership and it typically costs me $25 periodically for 500Gb of download....thats anywhere from 300-500 films.....and with massive download speeds and reliable virus-free files on everything posted its well worth it!

does this site throttle you at all?

And I'm a bit concerned about this site TBH....it talks about bittorrent being a 'peer to peer' service, when the whole point of torrent technology is that it ISN'T! Limewire and other such shite services were P2P but torrent doesn't normally work that way.....and before you ask 'so what', P2P has two major disadvantages....(i) the fact you are downloading one file from one source makes it easy for the host to infect it, and (ii) it makes it a piece of piss for anyone to track and prove your downloading.....call me paranoid but.....
