When you record stuff on your Sky+ box, it records the data stream from the dish; it doesn't record the tv program as a movie or video file - it records the raw encoded data, and only decodes this when you play back the recording... This means that to watch anything you have stored on your box...

Has the sofa got legs that you can carefully cut off and re attach...?
