Amazing Sky TV hack lets you watch deleted shows – and it's so easy to do | The Sun

YOU might have had Sky TV for years and not figured out how to watch deleted content.

It's an essential trick for any self-respecting TV super-fan.

Recording TV and movies is one of the best parts of having a Sky Q box.

But when something is deleted that you wanted to watch, it's easy to panic.

Maybe you accidentally deleted it, or scrubbed it and decided you want it back.

Or perhaps someone else in the house binned your favourite series.

Sky Q recording rules

It's also important to know the recording rules for Sky Q.

If you've got a Sky Q 1TB box, you can record three programmes at the same time.

And you can still watch another on the side.

With a Sky Q 2TB or Sky Q 1TB UHD box, you can record up to six programmes simultaneously.

And you can still watch live TV while they record.

Note that the 2TB and 1TB UHD boxes are automatically set to cap at recording five programmes.

But you can change that by going into Settings > Setup > Preferences and then modifying the maximum number of recordings.
