Sky+ without Sky sub?

If I cancel my Sky sub (currently Family pack), can I keep paying £10.00 a
month to record the non-sub channels?

Yes

But it may require significant argument with the Sky phone operator.

No monies return'd. ;-)

I'm sure if I threaten to cancel the direct debit they'll let me!

It's not that sort of argument that is needed. Many Sky operators
believe that this just isn't possible and you have to convince them
that it is.

Done it! I was transferred to another operator who tried to convince me to
keep the service at half price for three months, when I declined he said no
problem, I'm now only paying £10.00 a month for the recording facility with
no subscription channels. When he asked why I was cancelling, I told him
that Sky was not good value any more and that most recent/new TV shows are
available on DVD for around 30 quid (less than two months of Sky sub) and
have no adverts and DOGs. He went a bit quiet but did the downgrade with no
argument.
