Not a Sky question, more of a Foxtel question, but I am guessing they are using the same technolongy. Here is Aus we now have access to every channel apart from movies. Will I still be able to view programmes that I have recorded/downloaded from channels I don't normally have access to after the free access period ends?

@Crazy-Horse Last year, Sky here in NZ unblocked all Movie Channels for a few weeks before Christmas. I recorded quite a few movies and I could still watch them after Christmas. So, assuming the technology is the same, you probably will be able to watch the programmes that you have recorded.

Yep, they save to your box ... not to a cloud etc.
FYI -my Foxtel box once crapped itself with a bunch of games and movies on it and I lost them all.

@Bovidae on some of the older boxes if you put a USB in, it often crashed them!
Assume sky disabled the USB functionality to stop people copying stuff.
Yes. I used to record to video cassette when Sky was connected to the TV via the VHS. I believe there is a way to record to a DVD recorder in real-time.

@taniwharugby Hmm, I still have a working VCR. How long do unused casettes last? Do they degrade?

@Stargazer they do, but still better than nothing?
I transferred some video stuff form when I was in the UK 99-05 to DVD last year, quality is poor anyway, without looking at possible degradation.
