L
There are at present two types of sky
decoders available in New Zealand,
Base Band Decoder (no remote control
supplied, older type),
You cannot successfully record G-Code
programmed using this type of decoder.
(Unless your video is modified internally first.)
Contact Sky TV for details.
IRD Decoder (supplied with Sky Remote and
with UHF output).
This decoder allows you to programme
recordings using the G-Code function, You
can use the Sky CODE NUMBERS to record
Sky TV programmed with your VCR. However,
please note the following limitations.
(a) The Sky CODE NUMBERS used with the
VCR can not change the channels on the
Sky Decoder,
This means you must first preselect the
Sky channel you want to record (movies,
sport, news)
(b) The VCR will then turn on and record the
programme position which has been set
for Sky, (e.g. programme position “4),
The Sky channel you record (movies,
sport, news) will depend on which
channel the decoder was left on.
(c) Remember the first time you use a Sky
CODE NUMBER, the programme position
number
(“PR”)on the video needs to be
set the same for all three Sky channels.
This will depend on the programme
position number you allocated for Sky in the
set up. ie programme position number “4.
