My apologies if this has been asked and answered before. I currently have a Sky+ HD box and it is linked to my Panasonic DVD recorder but I have just been notified that Sky+ will no longer be supported.
Can Sky Q be linked in the same or similar way, if so how can this be done? Also, if I do not upgrade to Sky Q will my current box continue to work or will it just stop working at some future date?
Thanks for reading.

SKYQ is not designed to have an external recorder attached to it, the only output being a HDMI connection to a TV.
SKYQ boxes can record up to six channels at the same time.

A Sky+ HD box is likely to continue to function for live viewing, recording/playback and on-demand: some interactive functions may cease.

Sky Q has no SCART output, only HDMI, so if you are currently connecting your +HD box to your Panasonic recorder in this way then you won't be able to do the same with a Q box,

It is possible to download to a DVD recorder from SkyQ.
However you need a HDMI to SCART converter. You will lose quality but you are able to do it.

Bear in mind any post detailing how to circumvent copy protection will be removed. (2.2k of terms and conditions)

I too have a panasonic recorder DVD Player that also edits, I also used to copy from sky to this box then edit, IE cut out adverts etc then record that program onto a disc, but by what Ive read above with sky Q it seems I am no longer able to do that ? Is that correct.

Generally, yes. Only HDMI output with HDCP.

Presumably you are using SCART output to do so: that's an interface nearly half a century old, and was never going to be specified on Sky Q. RCA plug (for analogue component video and stereo audio) is even older.

Yes you can but wish could tell you how have done it but was told would get deleted.
