You can use Sky+ to record movies on Sky Box Office and store them for up to seven days. You’ll only be charged once you start to watch the film, and then you’ll have 24 hours before it's automatically deleted. During this time you can watch the movie as many times as you like and use all the features of Sky+, such as pausing and rewinding if you’re interrupted, just like watching a DVD.
