So is the play list similar to recordings? I am very much hesitating to swap from Q cause of the recordings and the lag. I spoke to a friend of mine who is an engineer and he advised not to swap at this stage
The playlist is only similar to recordings on Sky W in that you can see a list of all the shows you have added to your playlist quite easily.
Aside from that they are completely different. Sky Q records on the hard drive in to it Sky Q box (provided you have free space). The playlist functionality is you adding a show to your profile and it then creates a link to that show on the on-demand service that provides the show. It's works the same way a watchlist feature works on Netflix, ITV X etc, although the Sky playlist included content/shows from all the major on-demand apps. The benefit of the playlist over Sky Q recordings is that if a series is added in it's entirety to on--demand on the first day but is broadcast weekly on TV, you get easy access to binge watch the whole series whenever you want, whereas the Sky Q recording feature you would need to wait to watch the recording on a weekly basis as an eloiosde is broadcast (unless you use the box set feature within Sky q).
