Hi, I have very recently come across a series on television that looks quite interesting. Unfortunately, I've only discovered this series three series in! I'd like to use the "On Demand" feature that Sky+ offers to record series one and two.(And part of series three.) But my problem is this: when going into the On Demand section and choosing each episode, there is a message that states "This programme will be deleted on 1 Sept 2015"- does this mean if I download all of these episodes we only have until 1 Sept to watch them all? Or does it simply mean that the programmes will no longer be available to download from the On Demand feature after that date? I can't find any answers on Sky.com . We just wouldn't have the time to watch about thirty episodes of this programme in two weeks! Thanks for any help.

I think they stay on your Sky Box, they just disappear from On Deman. This is what my daughter tells me and she's always downloading box sets.
Thinking about it, the best thing to do is download one episode and see if it says anything on the synopsis about being deleted. If they are going to delete it, it will say there.

"It will be removed from your planner in your Sky box on the expiry date so in this case you have until 14th October to watch them all. This is the date it will also be removed from the boxset section as well."
Well, that is complete and utter rubbish! What a poor system!
Mine has a keep button does that mean they stay longer
A quote from the sky site
"If you want to stop the Sky+ box deleting an important programme, you can select the programme and press the “Keep” button. The box won’t ever delete a programme that you’ve marked with “Keep”"
That doesn't work with Demand recordings
