Sky+HD -> Sky Q

[BigChin1]

Received an email from Sky offering a free upgrade to Sky Q 1TB, replacing my Sky+HD 2TB box. Any reason not to? Storage isn’t a concern. I’ve avoided it until now as either it cost more or I was worried about my package being changed (particularly Legacy F1 entitlement). For what it’s worth I have the Variety and Sky+HD Packs. Email states package won’t change, free setup.

Thanks all.

Be aware that Sky often use this 'deal' to get rid of the older slower V1 Q boxes which aren't UHD or HDR capable, which may be fine if you're not interested in 4K content, but if you are in the future then you'll likely have to pay the £50-£100 fee to switch to a capable box.

Good info, suspected it might be to shift old stock.

You're gonna lose the F1 channel is you swap, it's a legacy package you are on and cannot be transferred to Sky Q.

This was my main concern - I've heard of this happening to others in the past but didn't know if it was still a 'thing', when the email says "your TV package won't change". Not sure I trust them not to screw it up, nor pay for a box I'd actually want.. Copy of email below for reference.
