This is why Sky must migrate all legacy boxes to Sky Stream, its IPTV service which is delivered exclusively through Sky Glass and the Sky Stream puck.
So how do all the Skysports+ streams work ? and where is what you say actually documented ?

Its not going to be technical, if you can generate a signal to drive a TV set, you can generate one for recording.

Perhaps we'll all end up back using VCRs to record (or at least the more modern equivelent, to record the generated video to disk).
