You can get the e-Manual from https://www.samsung.com/uk/support/model/UE40MU6120KXXU/#downloads

Page 106-108 and 55-59 seem relevant. (Pages 112-114 and 61-65 of the pdf)
As @JSmithy45AD said, it can only record the channel that the TV is showing, though it does look like you can schedule stuff. Don't expect it to be slick like a high-end PVR, but it might be better than nothing.

Samsung UE55es8000 "Smart" TV. It had a feature where every year you could upgrade part of the unit "so that it would never be out of date". They did it for 2 years then stopped. I've plugged in USB sticks before with videos on, but it was only with leaving sky that I played around with more settings on the in built TV tuner. The record TV was greyed up, but I plugged in a blank USB stick and it worked. It's not fantastic at ffd and rwd, but it's better than paying £6 a month to sky.

Yes, it can only record what you're watching. What I've started to do is record ITV and C4 and I can watch some thing via my Firestick.

How does one get in touch with the win back team at Sky these days?

My contract has been cancelled and I received no calls during the notice period..

Mr_Benn

Am I right in thinking that BT have always offered deals when your already a Subscriber, for when a discount offer has expired ?

I had a good deal on the BT sport that I agreed when my last contract expired, but part of that was paying more for the Broadband than I couldve got much cheaper elsewhere, but was told the old 'you can negotiate another discount when this expires in 6 months'. However, BT are now saying there is nothing they can do.
All they've offered is no charges if I now leave BT.

I always came to this forum when my Sky contract is up for renewal to see what I should expect to pay in the coming year or two.

I want to keep Q and just need Sports and HD.

What price should I aim for …… VIP customer over 12years with Sky.

I cancelled after 20 years of Sky. It went through a couple of days ago and I didn't get any calls either.

I only got one text message a few days before cancellation but it have a number to call: 0333 759 4451

They do as with most suppliers, however you should never use a supplied email address as your main email. If and when you move again you may lose total access to it. Use a gmail or outlook address.
