Can you record Sky Sports channels through Apple TV (via NowTV).

No. Sky Sports on Now is live only, there is no recording or on-demand

And its not full HD!

True, though from my experience of using Sports and Entertainment passes (the Movies one I used via the BT Box) via a Roku streaming stick, the 720p resolution is actually very good in my opinion, and seems to get a lot of bad press on the Internet, unfairly, I think.

My one gripe with Now is that at certain times, buffering could be a problem, even with an Infinity connection. Some users have complained of picture judder, particularly when watching sport, but I must say I've had no such issues.

Olgitnorm thats a thought I could just take Sky Sports 1. For I know Sky Sports 2 at times when its full of cricket I would not watch the channel.

I will see nearer the time when im due to renew my contracts come February.

I also never tane the Sky Movies bolt on as thought I would not watch the channels enough and felt that Netflix was much better value.

Ney you know the sky bolt on is only a monthly contract?  so if you want it now no need to wait until you renew your contract in February.

Never know that olgitnorm. I will think about adding Sky Sports 1. I dont think I will get Sky Sports 2 for the reasons I have said above.

Check out picture quality on game currently on sky1 HD, it's pretty good, has occasional sound glitches which is hopefully only teething problem.....it's not a bad game either!!
