It seems you can record items via the various channels. But not all of them. Has anybody got a list of channels which can record to the cloud as opposed to downloads. I have recordings which have lasted for months as opposed to downloads which can expire in 30 days. TNT via Discovery+ is amazing. You can come back in the evening and watch the days entire tour de france etc, all 5 hours of it. On sunday night I wanted to watch the final day of the Open. No chance. Nothing except highlights. Why can't Sky emulate TNT via discovery+? I don't to watch 30 minutes of highlights, I want to watch 8 hours of Nelly Korda and Lottie Woad.

Its not based on channels, its based on the programme. Each programme will have different rights which will define if they can be cloud recorded and how long the cloud recording will remain. Equally a bunch of things can't be cloud recorded and instead the playback will be through the various on-demand app. How long content remains on an on-demand app like Discovery+ is again down to the rights agreement that they have with the rights owner of each show.

Sky Sports is lamentable compared to TNT/discovery+. Thankfully you can "record" the Sky channels via the tv guide and that is the only way you can watch a full day's test cricket for example. Unlike tnt, if you don't watch it live on sky then you only going to get highlights via the "apps". It seems I am back to the bad old days where I have to go through the the tv guide and press "add/record" for everything. I just wonder if there is data limit?
