Cancelled Sky TV sub - query

Hi,
Does anyone know if this is the norm, we cancelled our sky tv subscription last month, and the channels went off as expected on the due date, the sky + bits didn't work either, which is what we expected, but some time after that our + facilities are working again, so we can use the sky box as a recorder etc. Now I had been considering getting a Humax freesat recorder but now not sure I need to.....so is this normal to be able to get the + facilities? If it's not I'm not sure how we are getting them!
Thanks in advance for any replies.

    It's not normal. Better not tell Sky! ;)

    Consider it a bonus, but an unreliable one. If they switch off the + capability, you won't be able to watch anything you've previously recorded.

  • Thanks, I thought as much! Just gives me a bit of breathing space to consider the options I suppose.
  • Just make sure you check your sky account online in case they try and bill you for it!

    :T Expecting my first LO on July 12th; words fail to describe how grateful we are for this gift :T
  • Mine did this for 2 years after I cancelled. Somehow I was left with about £9 credt when I closed my account so not sure if this caused it. They only stopped it when I rang up to ask about about rejoining and they noticed I still had the + functions.
