you can't record Sky without a Sky box as it is encrypted

I have never had SKY TV, but our TV has a "record what you watch" facility that forces whatever is being shown on screen to the hard disc recorder (including the accompanying audio).  Obviously, can't watch one thing and record another that way.  Our TV does have a timer feature for this.  Does the SKY streaming have timer features?

Is that technically possible from SKY TV?

No.  The TV will only record from the tuner, not any other input.

You can't record it but Alibi is available to stream on Now TV

If that's the case, the OP could get the BT Youview box and subscribe to Now TV. Appreciate they would not be able to record Alibi, but they could at least watch it.

Sky stream allows you to record to the cloud if there is now catchup option on that channel. It does what it needs to automatically once you added the program you want to your planner.

That is not true I'm afraid.

Have you looked at sky signature as that comes with box to record for like £30 also can add broadband ( been advised sky broadband not the best ) for like £40

It basically just takes you direct to the catch up stream in the channel's catch up app which you could do by going via the channel's catch up app yourself.  It doesn't actually record anything.

On channels that don’t have catchup it will record to the cloud so that you can watch that program that you added to your playlist. 

I know this because I have had Sky stream.

I am quite new to Sky Stream and am still learning but have found that Sky background music (Witness for example) is quite off. Vocals are good but the background seems juddery. Anyone else noticed or is it just me.?

I’m with Virgin Media at the mo but having problems with the internet.
So thinking of changing over to Sky, but SkyQ is too expensive, So can I have Sky streaming but buy a recording Device, Hard drive? To record programs- would I be able to set up series links like I can now?

Perhaps I'm reading your question differently to others, but no, you can't record anything from a Sky Stream box (or Sky Glass). If you really need to record a Sky channel or Alibi for instance then you need Sky Q.

Or the BT/EE TV Box Pro which I believe allows recording of Sky Channels (if you are subscribed).
