Sky cancelled

A question about : Sky cancelled

I have given my 31 days notice to cancel Sky and already my family are complaining about recording tv.

I have an LG smart tv with HD Freeview. My question is what is the cheapest way to record tv, in the event that I am not offered some sort of deal by Sky?

Best answers:

• https://www.humaxdigital.com/uk/
• Doesn't Sky charge Ј10 a month to keep the recording options on the box?
• Yes they do, and yes if you've cancelled with them - how else?! You will NOT be recording for free on your Sky box, and you WILL lose the ability to view your recordings.
  Buy a Youview box and connect it to your aerial and broadband.
  This will give you most of the facilities your Sky box has, if not the same exhastive list of channels.
  Record 2 channels, catch up services, HD Freeview just like you're used to VIEWING on your TV. You can't record off your TV's tuner if that's what you're after.
• Unless the OP already has a working aerial, then a Humax Freesat (not Freeview) PVR would be the best option, as it can use the existing dish and LNB. No need for an aerial, and almost the same channel line-up.
• Thanks for all your replies. My daughter has just moaned about Sky Atlantic so I noticed that if nothing is offered from Sky, due to end on 26 Feb.,Now Tv have an Entertainment package @Ј6.99 per month with first month free with no contract. I know this will be via broadband. Still cheaper than basic Sky.
• Clicked the live chat and told them people were getting offers and what could they offer me. Offered 35% off, I said a "friend" had got 50 % off.
  Checked with manager and said I could get the Ј33 TV package for Ј16.50.
  I accepted it and did not want the Sports as it is too expensive and I get my fix of football with BT Sport. As I live in NI I get RtE,Tv3 etc through my ariel so I get the champions league matches free.
  Overall happy to have saved money just by giving my notice.
  I can't help wondering why Sky don't just reduce the packages for everyone, but I suppose if you don't ask....
• If you have a recent TV, with a USB socket, you might be able to record to it. If you are really lucky, an external 500GB hard disk will work, but a 16GB FlashDrive should work.
