Copy from Sky Q box to Panasonic DVD recorder

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.

Hi @Justaviewer in answer to your question "Copy from Sky Q box to Panasonic DVD recorder"

 

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.

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.
