Noob question regarding copying HD files

Thanks all in advance

Shorter answer.
Install the custom firmware and set it to auto decrypt. This can decrypt the programmes once they have been recorded.

Where is that setting ? ..... I have the package 'Auto unprotect - Automatically remove decryption protection flag from HD recordings.' or is this something else.

(update) ... found out the setting, and also used the new method to download & decrypt in one step.

Auto unprotect removes the copy protection flag from HD recordings, but does not decrypt them
