    No, you wouldn't be able to Paul. You can only watch recordings of channels you are currently subscribed to.

    Not sure about that. The last couple of times they had a "Free Sky Movies" weekend it was possible to record the movies and watch them for weeks after. I think the content protection is set in the stream as it's broadcast, and for playback from a recording it is the content protection parameters within the recorded stream that are checked against.

    So on a free weekend, your recordings would say "Who can watch? - Everyone".

    Whereas normally it might say "Who can watch? - Sky Movies subs only", so if you have a movies sub, you record, and then subsequently unsubscribe, your recorded vides would still say "Who can watch? Sky movies subs only".
