Keyvan,

The BBC's broadcasts on Sky are no longer encrypted - the BBC channels can
be viewed with any digital satellite receiver. C4, C5 & ITV are still
encrypted for now.
Whether you consider the BBC's output worth recording is another thread
entirely ;-)

I suppose an alternative would be a digital terrestrial tuner card, that'll
get you more than the BBC channels, but is probably not a solution for the
Pinnacle product :-/

HTH,

Tim H.
