These contradict the statement in your Darwin FAQ, which says that you can only Copy+ between a Sky+ SD receiver and a pre Darwin Sky+ HD receiver.
I can state categorically (having fallen "victim" to the problem ... and having worked around it) that :
You CAN copy from an SD box to a HDD and put it into a pre-Darwin (i.e. Thomson) box and it will work.
You can THEN put the HDD into a Darwin Sky+HD box and it will work.
(By "work" I mean that your recordings are successfully transferred).
If you try to put the HDD straight into a Darwin box without the intermediate step
it will not work.
I've looked at the thread you mention. I can't see the point being made that Copy+ can copy from an SD box straight to a post Darwin HD box. Quite the converse - there is much talk (as here) that you have to go via a pre-Darwin HD box.
