Recording On Sky Hd+

[netibiza]

Is it possible to record freeview channels on a sky hd+ box with no sky subscription?

[pinkyboyid]

No. You need a sky subscription

[netibiza]

Damn, thank you!

[netibiza]

Yes I wanted a box in the bedroom so I could record all the rubbish that Mr N (on subscription in the lounge) doesn't want to see.

If it is only Freeview channels that you want to record then it would be cheaper to buy a Freeview recorder or Freeview HD box as one off cost, instead of paying a monthly subscription to Sky!

You were involved in a similar thread below and asked the same question to which I answered.

Mattk that is very observant of you, yes I did and I wanted an answer and I could not find that thread, ergo I asked again, I do beg your pardon if I have offended you in any way (Get over it!)

[netibiza]

Icurun, I live in Spain so it is not an option unfortunately! Thanks for advice though.

You can watch some sky stuff on upto two other devices - Xbox, iPad, etc. Not sure how limited the programmes are though but they are on demand.

[netibiza]

sherrardk, Xbox? ipad? not at my age, I'm still struggling with a wind up telephone!

[sherrardk]

Are you using a laptop? You can watch sky on that (says she like she knows how to do it!).

[woofgang]

not sure if that works outside of the UK...and the sky site will know where you are logging on from......hidemyass might work.....

[woofgang]

don't think it will work for you Neti, you need to be a sky subscriber....

[pinkyboyid]

Then there is also the option to use an internet session to connect to:

http://www.tvcatchup.com/channels.html

that will allow you to watch many channels for free on a PC / Laptop!

Thnks pinky "not available in my country" :-(

I do watch English tv (filmon) but I wanted to just record and watch it off the tv, I can plug my computer into the front room tv but the one in my bedroom is oldfashioned! I was going to buy a sky hd+ box but won't now of course. Luckily my query was answered before I bought one (even though , for my sins, I asked it twice)
