Help needed lads.......

My Sky HD box is on it's way out and have been told I need to replace it. I've got the 6-1 drubbing, MOTD on 13/5/12 and the QPR game on there and really want to keep them :-(
I've spent all weekend trying to source them but to no avail. I've had a torrent of the MOTD which is fine but the other 2 I found for the United and QPR games are not a Sky HD feed (ie no agueroooooooooo.....) and the commentating is shite!
Does anyone know of somewhere to get these 2 games in HD?
Cheers fellas!

I don't know the SKY box but i'll bet your local computer shop will rip the hard drive for you and put it on a medium of your choice for a tenner. 8gb USB drives are like a tenner or something, or a DVD-R?
2p..

I did think it would be as simple as this but apparently not sadly, all the stuff on the HDD is encrypted :-(

Didn't realise it was made by Apple. Arses. Try an AV forum (google that.)

Did try that, I'm a member on AVForums, but it's not an easy task which is why torrent sites seem to be the best for stuff like this.
If someone has it I'd gladly cross their palms with silver if they would pop it on a (supplied) media format?

Haven't tried it but this is supposed to allow you to move the sky hard drive to a of and get the info off it
http://www.skycopyplus.co.uk/Be interested if anyone has tried it as I'd like to get rid of Sky but have the cup final and MOTD from the end of last season that I'd be sorry to lose

All sorted! Managed to find it late last night and now have it sat safely on my HTPC plus a back up in the safe!
Cheers

Followed a few links from one of the posts above, came down in about 95 different pieces, took me a while to figure out what to do with it!
