What is the general opinion of Sky Q thanks to Sky having a software problem since Saturday and having a dam good moan at them yesterday they are upgrading me to Q all free plus wiping Novembers charges totally.

Just interested to know how good Q actually is.

Is it the new one?

Sky time is still an hour fast.

It’s great the selling point is multi room but can be temperamental so make sure you have good WiFi throughout your home

Plus point you will never loose the remote again

Negative if your WiFi is slow it’s crap

I’ve had it a while and I never really watch things in real time I’m always recording stuff. With Q think you can record up to 6 things the same time. Much more storage space as well. Plus multi room. I have a mini box in my room, my daughter room and one in the kitchen. Also like Belle said, if you press a button on your main sky box it sets an alarm off on the remote so you can find it. Voice control on the remote plus the new remote hasn’t got that annoying touch sensitive pad anymore it’s buttons again.

Q is good but, does have it's quirks. If they are upgrading you free of charge then, go for it.

Sky Glass has just come out (no digi box or sat dish) which is basically everything built into the TV.

ive had q now for a year and for the most part its ok..the problem i have with sky now is there is way to much adverts on it..to the point where i just dont bother putting it on..even the "premium" movie channels are filled with adverts..if im honest i dont think its worth the money..also thier tech is terrible

I like it. Only issue I had was the buttons after having the old sky remote for so long everything was second nature.

Mine has been alright. But the overall service hasn’t been fantastic, sky broadband is terrible.

It’s grand. The remote takes some getting used to. It’s like they buttons are all upside down compared to the old one

I like it… especially the app’s stuff… so if you have YouTube ID and Spotify you can use those setups!!

Also Q gives you more stuff to go into!!!

Also… if you have a mobile phone, and you have YouTube… you can link up the ID so you can find the video on your phone, but play it on the TV!!!

I know.. my mind was blown when I first worked out how to do it…

I do that sometimes when a film I want isn’t on Netflix or prime or Disney plus or sky store. It’s £1.99 to rent a movie off YouTube and the quality is normal.

+1 on the Sky Q questions, love it. The finding remote feature is a life saver as Annie alluded to

I dog sit for a friend occasionally and she has it, think it’s fine, a definite upgrade from the standard box in the way it looks and performs etc. My one complaint is this. I live in a 2 bed house on my own. I don’t have a TV in the bedroom so I don’t need the pause and play option. If my standard box fails, I’m facing another price hike essentially for functions I’m never likely to use. As far as I’m aware there’s no alternative for people in my situation.

Ours keeps losing connection to the broadband... pretty much every time we turn it on. Load of wank. We're looking for an alternative.
