Discussion topic: Help with keeping downloads that have an expiry date

This message was authored by: Ludinka · ‎16 Oct 2023

Hi Sky Community, Does anyone know if I can prevent my downloaded programs, that have an expiry date, from being deleted if I select to “keep” them in my planner, by pressing the blue button? Does anyone know if this will prevent downloads with an expiry date from automatically being deleted, ie enable me to keep them longer than the expiry date?

Many thanks in advance, Lou 😁

Expiry dates cannot be circumvented, you would need to offload the recording to an external device which is not 100% lawful
