Sky+ and PVR Confusion

marku

Been trying to get my head around the equipment and cables needed to transfer TV programmes from my Sky+ box to my computers HDD.

From what I can gather reading the forums I need to get a TV capture card or more preferable to me an external USB capture card. I have been considering the Hauppauge WinTV-USB2 capture device and would like to know if this device is capable of receiving the video played from the 'Record to DVD mode' on the Sky+ box. Also I have no idea what extra cables would be needed to transer the picture and sound from the Sky+ box to the capture device.

Sorry if this has been answered before but I would like to be sure of what I will likely buy over the internet.

Thanks for any help in advance.

It seems to have an S-Video input, so should be fine with just an S-video cable and sterio sound lead.
