    If you dont subscribe to the movies, can u record these to watch later?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,818 ✭✭✭Minstrel27


    You could for previous freeviews so it is probably going to be the same this time.

    Someone said in the other thread above that the recordings disappear if you are not subscribed to the movie channels. Either that or they will be there but you can't watch until you subscribe to the movie package channel again.

    Yes because you recorded them on a Sky Movies subscription.
