Why should i subscribe when i pay for tv programmes
I have recently upgraded my sky q package and a message keeps coming up to subscribe for a free trial to watch programmes that I have watched for ages.
Is there a way.to turn this off as its annoying and I pay enough to watch programmes as it is!!

First check that you are not trying to Download or view HD or UHD content without the Q HD or UHD Subscription pack.
Sky Signature includes BoxSets and Entertainment channels only in SD as standard.
Only free to air channels such as BBC, ITV etc are in HD. The Q HD pack is required for all other Sky Signature HD content, including Catch Up in HD, On Demand in HD and BoxSets in HD
If you do not have the Optional HD pack you need to change the Download to SD in All Formats (as HD is the default setting).
So that you do not need to do this every time it’s best to change your Download preference to SD in Home - Settings - Setup - Preferences.
This needs to done on the main Q box.
Then if you want to download any HD content from free to air channels (BBCHD ,ITVHD etc) you can select HD in the All formats tab of the content . This will change the format for that particular download only but still leave your format to SD in preferences.
