I heard if you have pre booked box office event it will record if set to, but once the show has started you can't record it.

As I already pay £60+ for sky I Refuse to pay £15 to watch box office, I'd rather stream it now and had a great stream last night.

You need an adaptor (scart adaptor) that gets rid of Macrovision. Also heard if you book via phone (extra quid) you can record directly to a VHS/DVD recorder without a problem (and no need for the scart adaptor).

So if you did successfully record it onto SKY+ (shouldn't have been a problem) and you have this limited number of days to watch it... get this adaptor!

If you dont want to pay until the next PPV, disconnect the phone line to the box.

I paid 7 months late for a Hatton PPV this way.

I like to watch something AS IF it was live, because the reruns are almost always edited/shortened, and the presenters often say something to spoil it, like "stay tuned, this was an amazingh fight", so you know if Boxer A goes down in the first, he's going to get up and rally, etc.

I can vouch for being able to record to dvd having booked it by phone.
