You need to remove the hard drive and connect it up to your PC, then use a piece of software to extract the transport streams.

But if it's encrypted then you're stuffed.

I'm waiting for a freesat HD DTR to be released at a decent price, but even then only BBC1 and ITV1 will be in HD.

Technical question regarding PAL and color...
Time

"Never The Same Color" is an obsolete adage, originating from the early problems with NTSC analogue/broadcast chroma decoders.

It is certainly irrelevant to DVDs; you might say a DVD can be NTSC or PAL but all that really means is that the framerate and vertical resolution are compatible with those TV standards. The video is of course stored in digital YUV format.

Sorry I can't explain your general observations about PAL colours. Could you give some examples?

Howard the Duck - Remaster Project by iNiTiaL (Released)
Time

I bought the German DVD back before Christmas, and still haven't had a chance to check it out (or compare it to Dark Jedi's downconversion of the HDTV broadcast).

There has since been a UK Region 2 release as well. According to dvdcompare, the English track on the German DVD is dual mono instead of Dolby 2.0 Surround (which the UK release has). I haven't confirmed this yet.
