THERE are a number of easy hacks to get the most out of your Sky Q box – especially for the much-loved recordings.
The ability to record programmes on the box is one of the compelling features that Sky Q customers love.
Recording on the box is a favourite feature among Sky Q customersSkyIn recent years, Sky has focused a lot of energy on its newer internet-based products Sky Glass and Sky Stream.
However, bosses recently assured fans of Sky Q that it will be “with us for a while” yet.
Sky Glass and Sky Stream rely on an internet connection to beam channels to your TV, instead of traditional satellite.
The pair don’t record programmes on a box locally, instead they are kept in the cloud.
One major advantage to this is that you don’t have any storage limits like Sky Q.
However, a small selection of titles may not be available to record on the cloud due to licensing issues.
Cloud-based recordings also expire, whereas you can keep them for as long as you want on a Sky Q box.
So if you’re sticking with Sky Q for its recording features, here are some little-known hacks to get out of it.
Unlock more space – and speed up downloads
If you find that you’re constantly running out of space on your Sky Q box there is one simple change that will ease the pressure and speed up downloads at the same time.
However, it does come at a sacrifice.
Sky Q downloads are set to HD by default.
But you can lower it to SD if you don’t mind losing out on picture quality.
SD recordings are a lot smaller, meaning you can fit more on your box.
And because they’re smaller, downloads are faster.
To do this go to:
Settings Preferences Change HD demand default download format to SDDownloads not working
Sometimes on-demand downloads can become stuck randomly and leave you wondering what’s going on.
If you’re left waiting too long there is a trick to push them through.
And it’s simply by cancelling the download from the Downloading sub-menu.
Once that’s done, go and try downloading the title a second time and it should hopefully work.
If it doesn’t, there may be a problem with your broadband or Wi-Fi connection.
Restore recordings you’ve deleted
Deleting the wrong recording by accident is bound to happen.
But all is not lost – if you make this mistake, there is a trick to get them back for a limited time.
Go to Recordings, and find Deleted.
Here you’ll see everything you’ve deleted recently with a button to restore them.
