Dowloads from catch up and on demand.
I am unable to download from catchup or on demand as it keeps saying I need to update my subscription. Also when I try to download to my box from sky go it doesn't actually work. Any idea how I fix this. The help sections don't cover that.

@St4c3y Sky signature comes with live TV, catchup and boxsets.in SD as standard you may be trying to download the programme in HD
The default download setting is HD so try changing the format to download in SD
you can change the default to SD by Pressing Home on your Sky Q remote and select Settings, then Setup.
Select Preferences, then 'On Demand default download format', and choose SD.
If you have tried the above let us know and we can escalate this to Sky
