SKY+ to HDD, then HDD to PC then PC to DVD, - WHY?

Some forums are writing and giving advice in converting SKY+ to DVD. Why would anyone want to convert a couple of things and end up spending valualbe time on 4 separate processes where a vast amount of time would have to be spent in front of a computer screen, removing the adverts. Surely it would be easier and far less time/energy to just hook up a DVD recorder, (not a pc DVDrw) to the SKY+ box. Press play on the SKY+ and then record on the DVD recorder. After pressing record on the DVD, pause and then FFW to the start of the item to be recorded. One way to reduce adverts is to set the DVD recorder to put chapter marks every 5 minutes, then all you need is to press the next chapter button and 9 times out of 10 the adverts will be skipped rather than spending time editing. If time isn't a problem then record directly to the DVD recorder hooked up to the SKY+ box. I record at SLP (6hrs) on my Philips 3380, and I am in the process of changing to EP (4hrs), but to be honest the quality is good at both settings. Whichever process one chooses, there will be pro's and con's. GOOD LUCK TO ALL IN SKY+ to DVD.

If anyone wishes to go the long way round in recording, re-recording and the burning to disc, one product which I can recommend for performance and quality is OJOsoft Total Video Converter, from http://www.ojosoft.com/purchase/buy-total-video-converter.html. This is truly the best in video conversion, with a fantastic range of formats to convert to.
