Method 2: Use a hard drive data recovery software to perform an undelete operation.

Personal Video Recorder (PVR) services like Sky Q, Sky+, or Sky Plus Box typically save recorded files (including TV shows, movies, or other programs) on an external hard drive, USB flash drive, SD memory card, SSD, or other local or network storage devices. If none of the above solutions work, you can try to recover deleted recorded files or programs from these devices using the Data Recovery Wizard. This powerful data recovery tool allows you to deeply scan these devices and find & recover all deleted or lost recordings, including permanently erased shows and TV episodes, without needing a data recovery company or service.

To have the software scan and recover files from Sky Q, you'll need to safely remove the hard drive from the box and connect it to a computer with the Data Recovery Wizard tool installed.

Step 1. Connect your external hard drive to the computer with a USB cable that works. Run the Disk Drill data recovery wizard, and you'll see your external disk under “External drives.” The software supports all major external hard drive brands including WD, Seagate, Toshiba, LaCie, SanDisk, Samsung, and more.

Select your external hard drive and click the “Scan” button.

Select your Seagate external hard drive and click on "Scan".

You can quickly locate your target file/folder by file type, or search for it by entering its exact name in the search box.

Step 3: You can preview the files found by the scanning algorithm of the Data Recovery Wizard. Then, select the files you wish to restore and click on 'Recover'. To avoid overwriting data, we recommend saving the recovered data to a drive other than the original Seagate drive.
