Download Sky Sports to Stream

With the Stream 1 Month Trial available now I would like to take advantage.

My issue is that there appears to be no way to watch football downloaded or on catchup/on-demand on PC. I currently use recordings on SkyGo.

Have any workarounds been discovered?

 

Also, can I run a single puck alongside a Q installation during the trial?

Passing on the tips I have learned in over 25 years as a more than satisfied Sky customer.

By definition Stream doesn't 'record' in any meaningful sense so there's no local data file to transfer into Go.

 

I suspect the Q subscription is suspended as soon as the Stream device is activated: typical Sky awkwardness.

What about the record to pc option from the cloud?

'the cloud' bit of Glass/Stream is frankly much more bogus Sky advertising than practical reality.

 

I might give it a try at home sometime just to see what happens.
