Spanners, sorry if I threw you a curve ball - but what I meant was the Skybox is in UK, we "program" it over the net, it records our choices, we then view them back over the net.
What we would like to do is record the output of the Skybox to the locxal laptop in Florida and then either burn to DVD or watch through Media Centre direct from laptop.
We've no problem running real time transfers from UK Skybox to USA laptop (that's what dark nights are for) - the only question is the software set-up to record the media to laptop.
Still looking for answers - just been looking at
www.appliant.com as I already have Freecorder, A/V Replay and "Converter" purchased from them.
I saw slingbox recorder but have yet to trial it over the net, as opposed to a direct cable connection to the box.
