Bought two 1100S 1TB boxes and two now units ready for Sky finishing. Everything set up but have a question.
With Sky + you could record catch up, is this possible with Freesat ? Likewise is there anyway I can record any now programs, I have the entertainment pass. I realise the now box doesn't go through the Freesat recorder but are there any other options.
Many thanks
No way to record catch up other than by connecting a device like a DVD recorder to the box analogue outputs. At a guess the NOW TV device doesn't have analogue outputs so recording becomes a lot more complicated due to HDCP.
Ok thanks. Seem to be stumped as the 1100s doesn't have analogue outputs.

As Pollensa observes. It has the same analogue outputs you get on a scart socket (apart from RGB video). Yellow Composite Video (CVBS), Red Right Stereo analogue audio and White Left Stereo analogue audio. RCA Phono to scart adaptors are dirt cheap.
Thought you meant the aerial outputs you get on the Sky box. Unfortunately I need the outputs you refer to for the digital sender unit I will be using. On second thoughts I could always change them over when I need to record

The output you refer to on a sky box is a rf (radio frequency) output not analogue.
What do you mean by digital sender unit. Analogue connections to digital sender unit does not really compute. If you mean a PAL modulator unit you can record the PAL analogue TV channel it creates provided you have a PAL analogue tuner. This will connect to an existing Sky distribution system. A TV will probably do the job, many output CVBS and stereo audio from at least 1 scart socket. Simply connect this to a DVDR.
The sender is the one that transmits the signal to another tv that's not connected to either aerial or dish.
On my 1000S I use those RCA outs connected to a RF Modulator which then feeds to my distribution amp and on to any connected TVs. If you get a decent quality modulator and distribution amp the resulting picture/sound is very acceptable and OK for recording. I had the advantage the amp was already in place for Freeview distribution.
By "sender" do you mean a wireless sender/receiver pair?
