The "Sky HD" movie channels generally are 1920 x 1088 25fps with the "flag" set to interlaced, the film content is actually normally progressive, the adverts tend to vary, the other non movie channels within the "HD" packages vary in resolution some at 1440x1088 with others at the full resolution, they also vary with progressive and interlaced content, what the flags state isnt always the case, with regards to capture any dvb-s2 capable card & dish pointing at the right orbital slot, assuming the person is in the footprint along with a "suitable" cam and valid subscription card would work, more info on dvb specific forums.
To be honest it's not rocket science these days, the information is available on most sat forums.
