As a rule of thumb in Ireland: only use provider-approved recording or “catch-up” features. Do not bypass DRM or copy streams using unofficial tools. Always follow your provider’s Terms.

Key points (non-legal advice)

• Terms first: service Terms usually govern whether recording/time-shifting is allowed.
• Provider features only: cloud DVR/catch-up in the official app is the safe path.
• No DRM circumvention: using tools to copy protected streams is typically prohibited.
• Private/home viewing: copied material must not be shared, re-uploaded, or re-streamed.

Safe workflow

1. Check your provider’s help/Terms for download, record, or catch-up features.
2. Use only the in-app options; avoid third-party recorders/sniffers/screen-scrapers.
3. Keep recordings (if allowed) for personal/home use; do not redistribute.

Common misunderstandings

• “I pay, so I can copy anything.” Payment doesn’t override copyright or Terms.
• “Private copy must be legal.” Not all private copying is permitted; check the provider’s allowed features.
• “VPN makes it OK.” No. Geo-bypass can breach Terms and rights.

Device/network hygiene (to avoid “recording because of buffering”)

• Prefer Ethernet to the TV/box or use 5 GHz 36/40/44/48 @ 40 MHz.
• Enable Match frame rate (Apple TV/Fire TV) and keep TVs at 50 Hz for Irish content.
• Pause cloud backups/downloads during live events; use our match-day checklist.
