So I just wanted someone to confirm for me please if I am able to buy any satellite DVR to record my UBI legally ?? Will I be able to record any channel that I receive from UBI as I wish ?? Also, is ALL satellite TV considered digital or is there such thing as analogue satellite TV ?? Not familiar with how Satellite TV actually works in terms of signals etc. Thanks, Ash.

the$#!Za. Space Trainee T Joined: Aug 2007 Posts: 3 Sydney, Australia	Hi thanks for your replies. Ok so if I plug my UBI box into a DVR's video input, will I be able to do anything else on my DVR while it's recording UBI ?? For example while my DVR is recording UBI, can I watch normal TV at the same time on the DVR ?? Quote But if you get a satellite reciever with DVR built into it it may work for now or may not work at all as its not supported by UBI so may not work in the future etc Hmm that's a shame, as I was planning to get a twin-tuner satellite DVR to be able to record a UBI channel and still change to different UBI channels while it's recording 1. If I plug my UBI box into a DVR's video input as suggested, I'de want to settle with a Topfield DVR but I don't think it has video inputs at all Cheers, Ash.

But there are dvd recorder +hdd combos with digital tuners. They will let you record ubi and watch digital tv at the same time. Check panasonic and sony websites.

I know there are DVD recorders with digital tuners as you mentioned but don't think there's any with twin-tuners. Originally as I said before, I wanted a satellite twin-tuner DVR which would work with UBI but as LAZERSAT mentioned it would be unreliable as might not work in future should UBI change something on their side.
