Ditching Sky TV and purchasing a Freesat box (with recorder)in the Black Friday sales. Will we be able to record Netflix into the Freesat box ?

Netflix is delivered over broadband.

You can download shows but not I fear onto that box

No, they are two separate technologies.

No. Netflix uses streaming technology over broadband.

Not long before everything does, they've just announced Freely which is basically the Freesat/Freeview replacement for when TV antennas and satellite dishes get discontinued.

Edit: when I say not long, the timeframe is from 2030 although I can't see that happening.

Why'd you need to record Netflix? Its available on demand.
