Apparently the Sky contract for the satellite ends by 2028.

Which in my opinion seems odd why Sky are offering me to come back with a Sky Q box, if it will end in 4 years.

Because it buys more time for the fibre rollout to reach your area .... in 4 years you can switch to a streaming platform

If I was going to go back to Sky I would want it with a Sky Q box and dish. 

I like being able to record things which you can watch back without the internet. 

A few years back we had an internet outage all over Christmas, but it wasn't fixed until the new year, so being able to watch things I recorded was a God send, plus being able to watch Sky channels with no Internet was a life saver.

Who wants no tele over Christmas? In fact anytime?

Now I'm told that one can't record with SLY Glass. Like the poster stated, one can't be expected to watch til the end of the programme but to go to sleep. One should be informed at the start of contracts about this. Disappointed to say the least

How Sky Glass works is incredibly well documented by Sky on their website, and isn't hard to find with a quick google search either.

Strictly speaking recordings are available. The majority of shows are available on catch-up apps, and there are some shows/broadcasters for which Sky have legal agreements in place to take cloud recordings.

This is fundamentally a streaming platform, which means you should expect shows to potentially only be available to watch on-demand after broadcast for a limited time only.
