Random recordings on Sky Q box

[NewtonUnthank]

I have recently been upgraded to Sky Q.

Every time I look in "Recordings" I find programmes I did not record. I have not even used the recording facility yet and doubt that I ever will.

Is there any way to deactivate recording?

Hi @NewtonUnthank 

I suggest you have inadvertently selected a series link recording.

Anything that is set to record will appear in the Recordings most recent - Scheduled - section

Check this on your Q box as it should be completely empty.

Not sure why you would subscribe to Sky Q to never record anything… You can't remove the recording option. Go into Recordings - Scheduled and delete any programmes in there already set to record.

@NewtonUnthank another possibility for unwanted recordings is landing on a non bbc channel that has watch from the start and inadvertantly pressing the select button which will download the programme to your recordings

I didn't choose to subscribe to Sky Q, I was upgraded to it when I renewed our contract. I wasn't aware that it was possible to renew without being "upgraded" to Sky Q - the Sky agent I spoke to certainly didn't offer me any other option, unfortunately.

It sounds like you'd be better with Sky Stream which as it says streams Sky tv over the internet rather than Satellite.
