[TV] Sky glass

There's definitely lagging, 30 seconds delay minimum. Unacceptable.

Not here. I have tested this with radio coverage, no lag

Sky Q will only be available until 2028/2030 when the satellites at 28.2 East will reach end of life.

Let’s hope we have decent broadband in rural East Sussex by then and can move to fully streamed TV without the annoying lag

I asked a few Sky engineers about it. Their answer was no engineer they knew would have it in their home.

I have to say that Sky engineers seen to be refreshingly honest about the shortcomings of their bosses.

I moved recently and it took 3 calls to for them to finally concede that I did not need need to recontract my broadband for another 18 months on the basis that I was simply moving.

When the engineer called to set up the satellite dish and Sky Q at my new house he was not surprised by my tale. He explained that the call centre workers were on poor money and were under severe pressure to upsell and/or recontract people as they could then get commission. He said the worst example he had was when attending an old ladies property to fix her Q system he was shocked to discover she had two sky q mini boxes in two rooms where she actually had no telly. He suspected they had spun her some nonsense that they were required to make her wifi work properly.

This is what I heard, so also avoided it.

Same…an engineer when moving my dish said not to touch it and wait for a future version . The delay with live sport was another factor

Had Sky Glass for nearly 2 years now and have no complaints.
Was hesitant as our WiFi is awful and I needed 3 Sky Pucks (replacements for the mini hubs)
Sound is excellent and no issues with WiFi or the quality of picture and whole set up really.

Maybe once every 2 months it crashes to white noise. Turn it off, turn it on again and it’s fine.

The 30-40 second delay on football also improved last month as they launched ‘live sync’ which gives only 20 secs delay now. I can live with that so long as mates don’t message me with spoilers.

I've seen this before re engineers not endorsing it... I'm not surprised it's like turkeys voting for Christmas. Sky Glass doesn't require any engineer set up, so they will be out of a job pretty soon if Sky switch to fully streaming.

It’s a good point . The live sport delay is a key issue currently for me
