I'm grabbing the Sky EPG data but doing the recording via an analogue
capture card (don't think I have the right Sky card to capture directly).
If Sky happens to be recording at the time the tuner will already be tuned
so the data grabber will work anyway. If it didn't work it's only going to
miss one day so it's not a problem. Even so I grab data at 4am so I'm
almost never recording then.

Cheers,
Steve
