*** Sky Q Thread ***

I keep finding short audio drop outs on one of my mini boxes.. very frustrating.. anyone else experienced that?

Fixed with a reboot for a while..
 
There is an enormous thread on the Sky Q forums about those intermittent drop outs. It is thought to be caused by HDMI control signals, so using an optical cable for sound and/or disabling HDMI control/CEC on all devices might fix it. If not, setting the sound output to Normal will do the job, although you'll lose Dolby Digital.

Am I right in saying that all your recorded/downloaded programs are all on the one main box?

Yes.

Well that's a poor design flaw/restriction

Thanks for confirming

It will be a result of market research - I'd have though the majority of multiscreen customers only have 1 extra box so they went with that. They'll push the 2tb silver box if you want more than 1.

awesome thanks!
 
Can someone confirm that with an upgrade to 2tb I will get all HD channels bar the movies? Lady on the phone said yes but I'm not convinced...

Thanks

You only get all the HD channels with the BoxSets bundle. I have just rejoined sky and they made that very clear. Has nothing to do with the 1tb or 2tb box.
 
Are all the HD channels genuinely HD(1080) source as opposed to upscaled ? in particular Film4 HD, TCM and ITV4 ? (clearly there is older content too, say The Avengers/prisoner which would be upscaled 576)

and, are the freesat HD channels bbc1/2,itv,c4,c5hd available even without box sets ?

Is there any more information about the Sky/Devialet TV speaker/soundbar available at all? Anyone know anything?

Cheeky cow lied to me in that case, I specifically said if I upgrade to a 2tb box would that mean I automatically get all HD channels bar movies and she said "yes" .... Will be calling tomorrow about that ...

Looking at that new Sky VIP thing, and found out we are on the Black tier(highest one), which gives a free Sky Q install.
Not interested in the multiroom, but the recording several things at once facility does look good(we often have to cancel recordings due to clashes).
Would there be any way of getting the basic Q package without having to pay the £12 a month extra? (Currently on HD with all the Sports channels)
thanks

Sorry just seen this. In order to get the free install you must take the mini box and Sky Q Multiscreen @£12pm. Even if you don't use the Mini the Q Multiscreen is required to get UHD content and watch content from the planner on a tablet or phone anyway

I've seen on Sky's website its Dolby Atmos enabled and will cost £249 to Sky Q Multiroom users and £299 to existing customers on other packages. £799 to non-sky customers.

Perhaps MissChief can advise of some more technical info?

That's about all we've been told too. Devialet have a big reputation so I'm hoping it'll be good.
 
Noticed on the sky site they they currently have a small discount on the box sets bundle making it £31 a month , never been a sky customer and I'm pretty tempted at this price.

If I were to ring up sky would they be likely to offer any other deals/ up sell at all or are offers more a retention type thing ?

Also are there any offer codes or quid or offers anyone knows of at the min ?

Cheers all

Devialet strategy article

...This is where the list of strategic investors will come into play. The plan is to embed Devialet’s audio tech in TVs made by Sharp, cars made by Renault, and perhaps do more activities with software-based music services (think Jay Z’s Tidal, which already has a streaming deal with Phantom, or Naver’s Line Music), smartphones, and the many more devices that complement and compete with these. If they pull it off, it will democratise Devialet’s technology beyond its own high-end, expensive speakers, and make hearing it much more ubiquitous
