Sky by broadband, Films

As a Sky subscriber I've just done what it said on Sky TV & downloaded 2
films into my PC from Sky broadband, which I have a 29 day period of time,
to watch them in. I've tried looking for the films in my computer but can't
seam to find them any where. But I can play them off line, so they must be
on my hard drive some where. Is there a way of getting to the files? So I
can copy them to disk? Or is this the catch part of the deal, only I can
watch them, in the time limit provided?

If this is the case I might as well just watch them on TV, & record the ones

Start / search on XP. Type in names of films ?

They use the Kontiki software - wonder if it will let you move them onto
a dvd - will be surprised if it does :)

Aries...

No I tried that, although I saved them to DVD and the DVD plays on the
computer I downloaded the film from, it won't play on any other computer
or DVD player - :(

Found this on the Kontiki site:

Content protection

a.. Content cannot be copied or shared illegally from one device to
another
b.. A centrally managed publishing process allowing only authorized
parties publish content to the system

Uker I am sure I read somewhere that you cannot record what you
download.

I want to save.

Presumably there is an icon which you click on to play the movie...
Right click it and see what the Properties says

There's no icon a such. Just the two names of the movies & if you right
click these it gives you Flash 8 settings, like this picture

In that case I think Anita is right and this confirms it..

Can I save to another hard drive, CD, DVD or other device?
You will only be able to play the video on the PC it was downloaded to.
Items cannot be downloaded on to DVD.

Have you read this?

Now, you may not have a problem with P2P, and I don't when it's properly
managed, but it seems Sky are not being especially up front about the
nature of this service.

Plus, Kontiki doesn't seem to have a proper uninstall routine and is
always running in the background.
Given the general paranoia in this froup about such things I reckon you
are about to be excommunicated :-)

There is obviously some DRM embedded in the video files that restricts
playback to the machine it's downloaded onto. I'd be surprised if no-one
gets round that before too long.
