Freesat - can i record BT Sports

Dan-Dan

Hi
Have decided to ditch SKY , and get a humax freesat + box , i am still many months away from leaving BT due to the 18 month contract , so i do have their broadband and phone

How can i watch (and record) BT Sport with this set up ?

I dont want to watch online , i want it to be on the TV

Hope makes sense

Cheers

Short answer no.

BT Sport requires a valid Sky card and therefore a Sky box.

Long answer yes, use the existing Sky box and card, use a DVD-R to record from it and use the receiver as Freesat from Sky

Only other way is to connect a PC to your TV and view it using BT broadband, which you say you are planing to leave.

Unfortunately, if you continue with the Sky Box as Inner Zone says, you'll be limited to recordings of everything on the DVD-R because the Sky+ recording features will end with your Sky subscription.

I suspect your best money saving course is to do as you intend and buy the Humax, allowing you to record from Freesat. The BT Sport will just have to be watched live on your computer or not at all, though.

Two bang-on posts above. And to further add to the helpful input above, BT Sport doesn't broadcast on Freesat.

Just get a BT YouView box, thats your best and cheapest bet. Then when you leave BT you can take it with you.
