Is it possible to capture the image from plasma and copy directly to HDD?

[Steve237]

I have just bought one of these:
http://www.itreviews.co.uk/hardware/h588.htm

I am in the process of setting it up between my laptop and plasma, so I can use my plasma like a PC and have access to all my video's/music/photo's, etc, as well as internet and email from the sofa. Also got a 400GB External HDD to complete the package and take the strain off the laptop.

I know it can directly record and encode music into MP3 format from Sky or whatever other source, but don't think it can capture video.

Is there a way I can do this? I have SkyHD with a HDD but I'd like to be ab;e to archive stuff on my 400GB external HDD.

Thanks for any advice/suggestions.

Just exactly what equipment is it you have .

Is your intention to record from a subscripted service ... yes / no ... syktv / comcast / austar / ect .

Then you need to check out grex : http://www.xdimax.com/grex/grex.html

And you need some sort of recording device ... dvd topset recorder / pc capture device
