Can SkyGo be recorded or paused?

Hi people.

I am wanting to watch the match tonight but unfortunately have an important appointment that I have to attend.

I use my brothers login for BT Sport/Sky Sports online and was wondering could I pause BT Sport before I leave the house and then press play at about 9 when I return and watch the match fromantic the start?

If you mean Liverpool v Arsenal - it is NOT on Sky Go, it is on BT Player. I don't think you can record from that.

Yes, Sorry I meant BT. I'll be watching through Virginia Media online. Hopefully I can pause it and when I return it will still be there and I can press play...

No, it doesn't work like that.
It doesn't buffer up like YouTube. Its a stream.
They do make the game available ondemand on the app and website after but im not sure how long after the game

It is also repeated twice tomorrow on BT Sport 1 and once on Friday.

I have a laptop and connect SKY GO through an HDMI-RGB converter to my DVD recorder, it works fine but the bitrate on SKY GO for sport isn't great. It is okay for films though.
