Vista media center Sky+ integration

["Jamie Bennett" <jamie.bennett@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I've recently gone from a media center freeview setup to Sky+ and I
really miss the extras that media center gave me but I do like the new
channels :)

My question is this, is there an elegant solution to integrate Sky+
into Vista media center? I know that I can attach the IR sender to the
sky+ box and change channels/record but is that it? Will I sacrifice
the dual tuner of the Sky+?

For example, what I'd like to see is a plug-in that utilizes remote
record to tell the Sky+ box to record programs in a nice EPG style
format on the media center. Then for playback the IR sender can send
commands to the sky+ box to access the planner and playback the
recording. Also maybe a night time scheduled task that would off load
the content from the Sky+ box via the 'copy' function and RF2, to the
media center so it can be access by other computers around the house?

Am I asking too much or should I get my programming hat on?
