Can you use the Sky app to record programs on your q box?

[IRP]

Hi all. I have just got sky Q, I am away from home a lot and I want to be able to record programs remotely via the Sky app. I cannot find how to do this anywhere. When I google the question some people say yes and some people say no. I can't believe you have to pay another £8 a month if you want to have a multi room to be able to enable this function. Please can anybody help many thanks

Hi @IRP   You use the Sky Go App, you used to have to establish a link while at home on the same network before taking it on the road. You don't need a Multiscreen subscription to schedule a recording. The Multiscreen subscription comes into play for watching/downloading recordings from the Sky Q box.

As posted by @MightyQuinn you do not need the multiroom subscription to be able to remote record with the Sky Go app while you are out and about.

Like with all things in life, some people are right and some are wrong.

Hi all, 

many thanks for the replys, thought whemn I am on the app by the Q box and it is linked, on the app screen and in the guide with programs, I just cant see any option to record ??? Many thanks

To record either go to the TV Guide and when select something you should see the record option, you can also you the search to find the program. You do not need to be near your Sky Q box to be able to do this.

Hi, 

many thanks for the reply, but there is nothing on the app to click that says 'record' anywhere on the guide or when you are in a program. Very odd.

At the top of the TV Guide make sure the record to Sky box option is selected and then you should see the record option when selecting a program.

Oo good point you don't see BBC if you are on the "watch on phone" tab. And can't record the current show either.
