Recording.

Hi,

Do I need a smart tv to record and watch box sets ?

No.

Are you having issues?  (Such as trying to watch HD with a SD subscription only?)

[CARly+h]

Thank you .No we have an oldish TV and oldish sky hd box with no WPS button.We are thinking of getting a sky + hd box so we can record TV and watch the box sets.

Ah, you posted in the Sky Q part of the forum, so I assumed you had a Q box.

Someone else will need to confirm whether HD boxes support boxsets.

@CARly+h I have moved this to the Sky+ forum as you will get the answers you need in this forum rather than the Sky Q forum 😁

You will not get a Sky+ box from Sky now but you can view Boxsets via them. You would need to get your own Sky box but the issue is if you are not a current Sky customer you would also need a viewing card from Sky.

Yes, Sky+HD boxes support On Demand and give you access to box sets and catch up, providing they have a broadband connection.

Only the latest Sky+HD boxes had on-board wifi connectivity, but even they're at least 5 years old now.  They can be identified by the WPS button on the front panel. There are no new Sky+HD boxes available now, but no shortage of used boxes on eBay etc.
