Record Sky Ticket: How it works

Sky Ticket is a streaming offer with constantly changing content, but without a subscription. The offer is designed for volatile consumption. Here we explain whether and how you can still record Sky Ticket.

Record Sky Ticket - only via detours

Sky Ticket is a streaming offer for casual users. The offer includes the options “Entertainment” (series), “Cinema” (films) and “Supersport”.

• You do not have to have a permanent subscription to Sky Ticket. However, you still have to cancel the ticket.
• A Sky Ticket gives you online access and you can watch your favorite series or a Champions League game with a daily, weekly or monthly ticket.
• Sky Ticket can be used in the web browser, with selected Android and Windows 10 smartphones and tablets as well as with iOS devices, Apple TV, console, Chromecast or Smart TVs from Samsung and LG.
• The contents of Sky Ticket change weekly. If you want to record a film, a series or a football game so that you can watch it at a later date, you have to take a few detours. Sky Ticket does not have an official recording function.

Record Sky Ticket with HD Video Capture

You need an HD video capture device for this recording option. You also need a TV and a laptop or PC, as well as an HDMI cable for PC / laptop and TV.

• First connect the HD Video Capture device to the power so that the green LED at the front lights up.
• Now plug the HDMI cable into the rear of the HD Video Capture device's output socket. Connect the other end of the HDMI cable to the TV.
• The second HDMI cable comes into the input socket of the HD video capture device and is then connected to the laptop / PC. The desktop will appear on the TV.
• Now you can simply capture the TV screen using the HD Video Capture device. To do this, take a USB stick or other storage medium and insert it into the HD Video Capture device.
• After the device has recognized the USB stick, play the desired content via Sky Ticket in the next step on your PC / laptop. Press the small red Record button on the HD Video Capture device.
• When you are finished recording, press the Record button again. Then exit Sky Ticket on your desktop and remove the USB stick from the HD Video Capture device.
• To play the stored content, insert the stick into the PC / laptop and start recording via a player (e.g. Windows Media Player).
• You can use this method to record both films, series and normal television programs.

Record desktop with VLC media player

With the VLC Media Player you can easily record content from the desktop.

• Start the VLC Media Player first.
• In the "View" menu item, check "Advanced control". A record icon will appear at the bottom left of the player.
• The next step is to define a storage location for the recorded videos. To do this, click on the menu item "Tools" à "Settings" in the bar at the top. A new window will then open. Switch to the "Input / Codecs" tab above. There you can select your recording directory under "Data". Don't forget to save the change.
• In the last step, select the desktop as the recording source. To do this, click on "Media" in the VLC player at the top left and select "Open recording device". A new window opens, where you select the item "Desktop" under "Recording mode". You can set the refresh rate below. It is best to set this to a value between 30 and 60. Now click on "Play".
• In the VLC player you can now click on the recording icon in the lower left, whereupon the recording will start. From then on, everything you display on your desktop will be recorded. All you have to do is open Sky Ticket and select the content you want. It is already being recorded by the VLC player.
• To stop the recording, click the record button in the VLC player again.

Record smartphone display via AZ Screen Recorder App

With this method you record the contents of your smartphone display. All you need is an app.

• First, download the free AZ Screen Recorder app from the Google Play Store.
• Start the app on your smartphone. A small semicircular window opens at the edge of the display with five options. The recording start button is on the far left. If you press the, the recording starts.
• Now play the desired content via Sky Ticket.
• After you have started the recording, you can view the recording control by pulling down the notification bar. There you can pause or stop the recording.
• The app records videos in MP4 format. This means that they can be played back and edited on most end devices without any problems.
• The video can then simply be opened and played on the smartphone. If necessary, you can also professionally edit the "raw version" with a cutting program.
• Practical: The app has numerous adjustment options in the settings (gear icon to the left of the record button). For example, you can change the video speed or the resolution. It is also possible to record the microphone at the same time as the video.
• Another advantage: the app is ad-free and available in German.

Sky Ticket: Use offline mode

Admittedly, the options for recording described above are somewhat cumbersome. If it is enough for you that the content is available to you for a limited time, you can use the offline mode of Sky Ticket.

• With the feature you can download content temporarily. So you can watch your favorite series on the go, on the train or on vacation - without any internet connection.
• In order to be able to watch films and series offline, you have to download the content in advance at home via WiFi.
• The saved content can then be found in the "My content" area. Call up the "watch list" there in order to "look further".
• After playback starts, you can watch the content for 48 hours. Then it is deleted.
• Saved films and series that have not yet been started are available for 30 days.
• The download will also be deleted if the license for the corresponding title falls out of the Sky ticket program.
• Disadvantage: The offline function is only available for content from the entertainment and cinema ticket. However, some films and series cannot be downloaded there either due to licensing reasons. Supersport broadcasts cannot be saved for legal reasons.
• Warning: You can only download each content a maximum of two times.
