There are hard disk extraction tools that work with sky plus, but as far as I know they would only work with programs that are free to air, such as bbc1 etc. This is because the sky+ records the data stream onto the hard disk, encryption included, so you still need your card in the slot to play back your recordings. The least hassle way of saving your recordings from sky+, and what I do in most cases is to record them as quicktime movies with a canopus firewire box with the s- video out of the sky box. In the sky+ playback/planner menu you can create a playlist by choosing copy (i think it green or red) then leave it recording.
I also have an eyetv sat which is fantastic for recording free to air programs from sky, including HD, but there isn't a straight forward method to record paid content anymore since sky changed to the white cards about a year ago.
