Hi,
Have recorded a programme on my SKY Q box for a neighbour who'd like to be able to keep it so would like to get it transferred to a memory stick or DVD. I haven't found anything in a menu on SKY to be able to copy but I did notice there's a USB port at the back of the box. What's that for ? Could I put a memory stick in there ?
Thanks

The USB slots on Sky boxes are not enabled.

They don't do anything but Sky say they are there for "future developments" but they have been saying this for years.
I believe with a Sky Q box (I don't have one) you can download some programs to a tablet or smartphone.

Maybe you could do that?

Also if the neighbour has a computer they could logon to Sky Go with your Sky logon details and watch the program that way.

I am not sure they can then keep it though (unless they know a way of recording a video being show on their computer).
Question Author
Thanks Guilbert53. I haven't tried downloading to a smart phone but he'd want to watch it on his big screen tv anyway. He's a serious technophobe (I have to put phone numbers in his contacts on his phone) & doesn't know what the Internet is.

I did guess it wouldn't be possible, but when I had a Virgin box there was a facility on there to copy to DVD so was hoping there might be a way. Can't get Virgin now (am a bit out in the sticks), & only have SKY reluctantly.
Is it by any chance on Youtube ?

Whats the series ?
