Fitting a flash drive for recording

Is there anyway that Sky can update the system so I can plug in a flash drive etc so when I pause a program it records on it , it will make it a lot better as if I pause for anything than a few mins it resets

@Dazzar51  Unlikely to happen, the TV isn't designed to have external or internal drives.  There would also be rights issues involved.

Sky state that the usb is power only however I have a feeling it's more than that. 

 

The reason why is that say for updates etc they would need a way of accessing the storage to push this update in the factory. 

 

More likely it's this usb c port they use however software is programmed to only charge.

@Unarmedberetta  USB is reserved for future camera use, nothing more.

@Dazzar51 

Extremely unlikely: the USB-C port is there to facilitate the attachment of the motion capture camera accessory (to be released this year) rather than any form of external storage.

I'm talking outloud. 

 

As in it could be but sky won't.

But then you want a dvr which is what Q and +  was.

Your subscription covers streaming live TV over the internet and cloud recording stuff sky  has rights to.

 

To me I think £10 a month not £26 expecially with all the caveats.

I do think it's about time they discounted this service until they get it to work longer than an hour
