Recording Live Sports on Sky Stream

Hi,

I have the Sky Ultimate package, which includes TNT Sports Ultimate. I'm a former Sky+ / Sky Q customer, and I'm getting used to how Sky Stream works.

I want to record two live sporting events tomorrow so I can watch them later:
1. The Community Shield - Arsenal vs Man City
2. UFC - Garry vs Makachev (airing live at 2am on normal TV, not pay-per-view)

 

On Sky+/Sky Q I would just hit record and find it under Recordings afterwards. I understand Sky Stream works differently - could you confirm the correct steps for cloud recording live sport, and whether both of these events will be available in full afterwards (not just highlights)?

 

Thanks for your help.

As long as you add them to a playlist from the EPG/TV Guide then they 'should' cloud record - giving you access to a saved section of the live stream on Sky's servers. This 'should' be available to you until it gets replaced with a full on demand version which will be accessable from the same link on your playlist. 

I repeat 'should' because it's not as guaranteed to work correctly as setting something to record on Sky Q. It can be quirky and is reliant on correct metadata from both the TV guide and live stream, which is outwith your control. 

When it works it can be like accessing an actual recording...
