This is indeed possible. You probably have a recorder from Humax. Make sure that you remove everything from the harddrive via the computer and that you then click with the right mouse button on the harddrive. Then click on Format this drive. Make sure you format it as FAT32. After this, plug it in the recorder via the USB port. It should give a message that you plugged in a harddrive. After this, you should be able to save the recordings on it.

Nope...
The eSATA ports are not configured in the device's firmware, and the USB 2.0 ports are useless except for charging your iPod or powering a USB fan. If you could connect an external drive to the unit, it would be partitioned with data encryption that can only be accessed by the particular DVR that formatted the drive. You can however stream local channels to a video capture card via the firewire ports but cable channels and DVR recorded programs would be encrypted. You can thank the MPAA for the grief...

Yep all you will need is a DVD recorder Philips do a good low cost version DVDR 3380 and a Philips DVD+RW ( this is the type that you don't need to finalize before you can use it in your PC)
All you have to do is make a connectiion to the video out of the Sky box using the suitable connection normally a SCART lead in to the EXT1 or EXT2 of your DVD recorder.
Play the Sky program in your planner and hit record don't forget to select the time you require 1 (HQ) 2,4 or 6 (SLP) hours. It will take as long as the program take to run to record it.
The best way to get the DVD-Video into your PC is to use the excellent TMPGEnc v4.0 Xpress from Pegasys use the Souce Video Wizard.
Then select the DVD-VR button this will read in the DVD content and then allow you to edit it and re-encode to almost any format.
If you select over 4 hours or recording most DVD standalone recorders will revert to Half D1 this equates to 360x576 instead of the Full D1 resolution of 720x576 (standard PAL for DVD-Video) you will need to use this filter to convert the half to full download it here Half D1 to Full D1

If you have a dish network system as listed in post a DVR 625 this is NOT possible, it will only work with VIP series Dish Network recivers. and they must be used on teh same model reciever such as Vip 722, tranfer to EXT HD then Watch on another 722!

Unfortantly if you dropped the drive then most likely you killed the drive because it messed up the read system in the drive. Now the case its self should be fine so you might keep it in case you ever need an extra drive encloser.
Sorry for the bad news

The hard disk is divided into three partitions: "Normal Recording,"
"Event Recording," and "Copy." Image data is automatically
recorded to the appropriate partition according to the recording
mode. For the normal recording partition, the data is overwritten
when the capacity is full. The event recording partition prohibits
overwriting to protect data. Copy partition prepares data for
retrieval to external medium.
Hard Disk Partitioning Function* automatically
selects the partition to be recorded.
RAID5 distributes image data to multiple hard disks in the
extension unit. Upon hard disk breakdown, lost data can be
restored from other hard disks. When using one WJ-HD300A
Series unit, mirroring function is available for data backup.
