Plug your sky + box into the VCR using a scart.
Select the scart plug as the source on the VCR, could be something like AV1 or AV2 - depends on the make and model of VCR.
Press record on the VCR and play the program.

Some premium programmes such as pay per view sports etc used to have a scrambling signal on them to stop you recording them.

I don't know if this is still the case though?

I would try connecting the VCR to the "TV SCART" socket on the sky+ box.

But then you wont know what its recording

Unless he has his Sky on channel 6 on the TV. I never tuned mine in.

Nobody should mention the boxes you see on fleabay that strip out the scrambled blanking lines in the signal because that would be encouraging copyright infringement.

 

[Steve]

yeah dont mention them, they are utter rubbish . . .

So connect the TV to the other scart socket on the VCR.

You connect the TV to SCART output 1, the one for the TV and you connect the VCR to SCART output 2, the one for the VCR

or these days, replace VCR with DVDR.

Then you go into your planner and mark programs with "Copy" (The Red button), then set the VCR/DVDR to the SCART skt (AUX/AV etc) & then press record. Then you press "Select" on the Sky remote.

This will enable you to record (using whatever recorder you choose) more than 1 program, it will play them concurrently to be recorded.

While it is doing this, you may like to go & do something else
