Blocked from recording on Sky Atlantic

I have been recording Game of Thrones. Recently a message has come up saying that I need to upgrade my subscription. On the 29th January 2025 I made some changes due to a call from Sky thanking me for my twenty odd years support. At no point did it mention reducing the access I currently have.

Are you trying to record the HD variant without having the HD add-on?

Possibly. However it always recorded before the 29th January?

Recording or Downloading?

 

Did the changes you agreed to include switching to Sky Q?

Things only appear to have changed after my recent upgrade.

It would probably help for you to check what your subscription comprises.

It appears you don't have the HD add-on, so you would need to check that you're recording the Sky Atlantic SD.

Note that without a current HD add-on, previous recordings and downloads made from subscription channels won't play back any more.
