Transferring sky q recordings

Pj36 — Mon, 14 Apr 2025 17:47:38 GMT

Thinking about upgrading to sky glass, is there a way of transferring my recordings from sky q box onto some sort of storage box.

@Pj36 Contractually no its not possible as it only permits you to keep them for the duration of your subscription

Unfortunately not.

SKY Q (& SKY +/HD) Recordings reside on the HDD & there is no mechanism to transfer them to any other device.

Any purchases from SKY Store are available via other devices if needed (I am certain this will include Glass / Stream but I don;t know the procedure)

@Pj36 unless they are buy and keep purchases then no, all recordings on the hard drive are permanently lost once the q account is closed

Anything downloaded via SKY Go has a time limit - I think it is 30 days to start viewing and then 3 days once started to watch
