Sky contract

I shall watch this with interest. My Sky contract expires next April and I was wondering whether or not they took the box away? 

As for continuing to record I can use a Humax recorder on the standard Free View system i.e normal ariel.

Sorry Fisherman but if you are not paying sky for even the smallest subscription you will not be able to record on the sky box. We stopped our sky subscrition years ago so can no longer record using the sky box however our small tv has a usb port so we use that to record onto a portable hard drive. 

Also you probably can't watch any record already made

after your 12 month contract expires the sky box is yours , I have just upgraded my sky box and when the engineer came to change it over ,he said ,sell it on e-bay, it's yours 

Does BT Sport eat your Data ?

I believe my BT Sport comes via the Sky card.Dont know what the connection is.I also believe that if I switched to say Humax I could no longer get BT Sports through that box. The USB Port looks interesting as an alternative. How do you work it?

Thanks huskydog.

Whe we went onto Sky plus we got another box and i used the old Sky box in the van with a one off payment £20 sky card.

We downsized to a bungalow in October. There was a SKY dish and associated cabling to 3 of the rooms. I decided to remove everything as I prefer Freeview. 

The cabling is in the bin and the dish and mounting bracket are in the back garden awaiting the next trip to the council tip.------------- Unless of course, somebody wants them for free.

Our sky setup is in one of the bedrooms that belonged to the boys when they lived at home. We use the tv from the van as it has freesat built into it, the OH uncoupled the sky+ box and used the sky cables to connect to the van tv. The Celo tv has a built in usb port on the side of it, just plug in a portable hard drive and record using the program planner, the cello tv is only a single tuner so you can't watch another channel at the same time (doesn't matter to us) but I suppose your tv will be in the lounge and you would like to retain full use of it. As far as I know you won't be able to use the sky+ box and a USB port together, unless someone knows differant. We  don't use the sky+ box in the lounge as we have 200+  freeview channels, for us the usb works as it lets us record lots of programs for taking away with us abroad.
