Then you will need a download manager program. I use Flashget which will allow you to set a date and time to start a file download. It's a great download manager and the best of all that I've ever used. In the options there is a schedule tab that allows you to select the days and times to start and stop downloads. When you input a new download you will see near the bottom a radio button called scheduled which will then use the days / times you set in the options.
I used to do this all the time on 56k as it was the only real way to download stuff overnight and flashget always did the job brilliantly for me.

Then (if you're downloading immediately or later in the night) you'll see this:
Finally, when it's finished, you need to click this:
Select the downloaded file, then press CONTROL + ENTER. Flashget will open up a windows explorer file to your downloads directory and highlight the file for you.
One thing to note about Flashget is that it supports pause and resume so if it doesn't finish your download by the time the "stop downloading at" time is reached, it will pause it and continue it when the "start at" time comes around again. It's a very good download manager and I've never found one yet that can match it. If you want to download in the day you can also manually set a speed limit for the download so that you can still use your internet for other things.

At any given moment in the universe many things happen. Coincidence is a matter of how close these events are in space, time and relationship.

You can set up a SKY+HD box to delay downloading, through a menu, but you have to start the downloads yourself...
What you would need to do is set up your list of recordings from On Demand.
In your planner, you have a tab called "Downloads", in here the blue button option at the bottom of the menu will be to "Pause All".
You should "Pause All" after setting up the first download, all others you add will then be paused too.
If you pause the downloads until the time you want to be able to schedule them to download (ie at midnight), then when you want to download them, un-pause the list by pressing the blue button in the download tab. MANUALLY..... once, to un-pause all
If you are asleep at midnight, or otherwise engaged, just start the downloads early in the morning, say 6am.
