Yes, it's a hard disk based recorder-like Tivo if you have that in Germany, and I think maybe one or two others are on the market. And I think the Sky system allows you to rip stuff to your PC's hard disk. I've seen TV cards from Pinnacle and Hauppage (?) which do what you've done-but yours is probably cheaper!
RTV-that's the opinion I seem to get from people-it is a good setup. I've got so many scarts/cables etc on my TV I've given up trying to record Sky, which is annoying as there is more on there to watch than terestrial TV. I might go for it before xmas.
