Recording on a sky+ Box

[Teklass]

Hi anyone!
Recently went to cable but still have my sky+ box still hooked up but not receiving packaged channels. How can I record on the box? Do I need a special card?

Yeah. You need a Sky card, and to pay them £10 per month. Then the recording function will work - for free-to-view channels.

Or you can take out a minimum subscription of course.

Never been a subscriber,but bought a used Sky+,in the hope that the competition from Freesat,might result in totally free Sky+ recordings,for all channels.
Unfortunately,that hasn't materialised so far,with the emphasis now shifting to Sky HD instead.
It looks like the Sky+,will have to be gifted to family.
