[QUOTE="cjgall, post: 26477, member: 175963"] I read about the NDS module, Dragon are currently speaking to there sollicitors apparently. What I was wondering is if there are any Sky boxes around that use a standard pcmcia adaptor 'inside' the box into which you insert the Sky card. If this was the case, I could remove the pcmcia module from the digibox and use it in my Topfield alongside the Aston 1.05 module I use. I checked inside the Grundig and although there is an unused pcmcia slot, the slot that takes the Sky card is not pcmcia. Sky+ isn't the only PVR with two tuners, the Topfield I have also has two tuners, besides recording one program while view another, you can also playback a recording at the same time as recording a program. The new version of the Topfield will let you record two programs while watching a third and has a USB2 socket for copying streams to the PC. Sky are just cashing in on technology that is freely available to the rest of Europe. Having said that, I would be more than happy to purchase a Sky+ box if I could use it to record ITV1, Channel 4 and Five without a subscription. [/QUOTE]
