Having sky Q installed next week, can the programs I have on my old sky box be transferred?

I have some lovely things recorded on my sky plus box, but just realised can I transfer these programs to my new sky Q box? Or will I lose them?

There is no way of transferring Recordings between Sky+ and Sky Q, and they become unavailable for playback from a Sky+ box fairly shortly after Q is installed.  In theory non-commercial material can be recorded from Sky+ in standard-definition to an external recorder in real-time, but equipment capable of that is now scarce and it's only possible for a small subset of content anyway.

@lottie32 A lot of the things you'll lose when Sky Q is installed will hopefully be available again via catch up or box sets etc. Anything you've purchased from Sky Store will still be available.

Recordings can't be transferred to your new box, any Sky Store purchases however can be downloaded to the new box.
