If it was a free to air channel then yes: http://www.skycopyplus.co.uk/extract.php

If not it'll be encoded

What about if I send an output from the TV to a pc and record the video stream as it's being output?

Worth a try a suppose, but i highly doubt it'll be that easy. It must be possible somehow though....going by the number of NatGeo rips i currently have on my NAS

It can be done but it involves removing the hard drive and using some software. Not worth it tbh

DVB-S card method - http://www.avforums.com/forums/windows/319927-howto-sky-through-dvb-s-card-within-mce.html

You can also do it with a component card as HDCP doesnt come into play - but only certain sky boxes have component out as Sky twigged.

Must be easy as loads of the episodes on Icefilms etc have the TV channel logo at the top

They're rarely recorded in the UK though Gary. Probably TV cards inside PCs in the states

Either with a Sat tuner card or use a capture card like a Blackmagic and strip out the HDCP (various ways of doing this) from the Sat box.

As Pow mentioned, unencrypted FTA recordings are the only things you can extract from a Sky box hard disk; i don't believe (be interesting to hear otherwise) there is anyway around encrypted recordings.

Nobody (public anyway) has broken the encryption, if they had we could just decrypt the real time streams.

One of the card sharing tyoe boxes is your best bet, you could even use a genuine Sky card if you wanted.

As above it's just easier to get a sat box like a Dreambox and then pick the stream up on VLC or similar and save/record it

Bit of a difference between breaking encryption and hunting out exploits in software - ones extremely difficult, the other is nie impossible

Even the cheaper ones will record the unencrypted video to a usb hard drive for you.
