Hello,
I have Sky TV and internet but I never watch anything live on Sky I always watch shows on Netflix, Disney + and Amazon. So my question if I don't renew my TV Licence I'm assuming I would have to cancel my SKY subscription but I have shows saved on SKY that I brought which I don't want to lose.

Well for starters you would need to return your loaned Sky Q boxes so you'd lose everything on them.

If you cancel Sky you would not have have access to any Sky Store purchased content via your Sky Q box as the box itself belongs to Sky so would have to be returned.

You will still be able to watch this content you purchased but only on devices that you can install the Sky Store app on like tablets and phones and also PCs and Macs via the Sky Store website.

hi @Charlotte59

you do not have to cancel your SKY TV subscription but you do have to be careful in what you watch (e.g. no 'live' TV channels & no BBC downloads).

I don't know the full ins & outs but I think there are a handful of subscribers that do limit their SKy usage to downloads etc - you may find more info if you search all the groups for TV Licence as it has been covered in more depth
