[TV] Sky Q

[marcos3263]

I am getting Sky Q for Crimbo! The only person I know who has it is my father who is too old to appreciate it and cant use the remotes or find the menus.

Does anyone else have it and is it as glorious as I hope it will be?

And before the Virgin fanboys attack, it was a free upgrade after a moan so I now have the box set package with fibre unlimited and the 1tb Q box for £55.

And before the Kodi fanboys attack I stream Show box and Terrarium TV through my Xbox

And before the PS fanboys attack I am 45 and dont care.

Yep, took up Sky about 6 weeks ago and came with 1TB Q box

I like the interface - I upgraded [£20] to the Bluetooth remote control that does voice recognition - I've had several Humax boxes previously which have got progressively worse in terms of quality. The interface is snappy and simple to use.

I have it cabled to my BB router [WiFi also available] so it integrates well with catch-up tv.

So far, it's a like from me.

I wanted that remote, my father has that so I assumed it was included. Certainly I wasnt asked if I wanted it. I hope sky don't let me down I don't want another rant

Yes I've had it for about 3 months and it is great. I much prefer it now that I have got used to it. The box sets etc and films are very easy to use and find. The best feature is the voice recognition as it makes it simple to search for programmes and its great for my 5 year old who has learnt that he can say what he wants into the remote and it will come on! Also there is so much more storage. I don't think you'll be dissapointed.

We have it, plus 3 extra boxes.

It's superb

SO my Q box will listen to me and change the channel, my Amazon dot will listen to me and turn on the lights and play music yet my wife will totally ignore me as usual.............

we have it but frankly in the era of netflix and i player it getting a bit redundant.

To be fair to your dad the remotes aren't that easy to use. I do like the voice recognition although talking to a remote control is a bit bizarre

 

[The Original]

Should have got the 2TB box as that supports 4K (UHD) assuming you have the correct TV set up etc. and voice remote as standard. Had Sky Q since last Dec - superb. Even better as had -60% discount for 12 months and just renegotiated a further 18 months discount.

 

[Shirty]

Yep, we've had it for just over a year, with 1 main box and 3 small boxes. It is very good, but we also find it very unreliable. When we first had it there wasnt a day went by when we didnt have to reboot at least one box and we were on the verge of telling them to come and take it away again. It has improved a lot, but we're still having to reboot a box at least once a week.

 

[Lower West Stander]

Got it too and think it's great. Main box and two mini boxes.

Big pluses for me are that each box is a mini wifi hotspot. I'm in quite a weak reception area so this is a big help in my house.

Although a bit redundant now - I also like the fact I can watch BT Sport through each box whereas before it was tied to one card as I had Sky Multiroom.

The iPad app is also good as it turns it into another tv.

I have it and wouldn't be without it.

I’ve got it and it’s great. You need decent broadband though.

We cut down our sky package so we just have the basic sky sports and the TVs etc for 18 months....I want Eurosport, but have to sign up for another package we got rid of......as I don't have any sky hd channels, can I have BT sport or will they say as I haven't got sky hd I can't have BT hd or Eurosport hd? Anyone know?

You’re gonna love it, best 12 quid you could ever spend.
