Question about Sky+ recording facility only

[Deleted User] · 08/10/14 - 16:39

Do Sky still offer the ability to pay a monthly fee for the Sky+ record facility (£10?) without taking one of their packages? If they do, would I be able to select this and still have access to OnDemand and my broadband/phone line or do you need a package for these?

Thanks.

It's never been an 'option' - however, you can downgrade to it after your minimum subscription contract has ended - if you can find a CS at Sky who's heard of it!.

No idea if it allows on-demand or not?.

I think it only allows BBC iPlayer.

Its £10.75 and allows access to iplayer and itv player and demand 5 only. 4OD does work, but only for certain programmes. However as others have said, getting a CS agent who actually knows about it, is very hit and miss.

Do you know this as fact?

I was under the impression that BBC iPlayer was the only one to work with a Sky+ subscription (due to paying the licence fee), and Sky's own website seems to say the same thing.

Just below the headline (Enjoy the UK's Biggest Catch Up TV Service), it says some of the channels it includes, then clearly states Sky+ subscription with Sky TV Subscription will get you BBC iPlayer only.

I know this as when I had the recording facility only, that was what I got.
However this was offered to me when I had multiroom turned off and sky kept phoning and offered me it for free, but I was told it would be £10.75 a month, once the free offer was over.

A Sky/NowTV box allows access to the main OD channels for no monthly fee. The box costs 10pounds with a free 1 month trial. Cancel the trial online at the end of the month and no further costs to pay but you have BBC, ITV, 4, 5
For around 5 pounds month extra you get the Sky1, Living, Atlantic type chans as linear chans or on demand

that's incorrect.
the sky+ only subscription just access to just BBC iPlayer.
all the rest require a channel subscription.
