Worried about losing services!

MrGrim — Sat, 13 Jun 2026 10:58:02 GMT

Guys and gals,

I am on Sky Q at the moment, I like being able to record stuff because sometimes I am out. and I pay for the facility as I like it!

However I Know that Sky Q is getting dropped by Sky, so is there any way to record stuff? Sometimes I don't wake up early enough to watch the F3 for instance on Sky Sports F1, so I record it currently. I've checked today as I forgot to record it and its NOT AVAILABLE on catchup. So what can I do? Is Sky going to make everything available as if it was live?

I need some kind of Tivo device to record or is this not possible?

HELP!!!! (And I want cheaper prices as losing facilities!)

That can't be done: Glass doesn't output video and it's encrypted from a Stream puck.

Local recording was nice while it lasted, but it's not a right and content owners want to regain control.

@MrGrim Sky Q has another 3 or 4 years, so no need to do anything yet.

The theory is that Sky Stream makes cloud recordings of stuff such as live sport that isn't immediately available On Demand.
