Quick question, are the remotes that come with the mini box bluetooth or infrared connection?

Sky Q now installed, had a new dish but didn't need to replace the cables. Can't say I'm a fan of the touch remote so far the other one seems loads easier to use for navigation having actual buttons.
The 1Tb and Mini remotes are Infra Red. The Touch remote is Bluetooth. £20 on http://accessories.Sky.com atm
Are you sure you're not looking at BBC iPlayer catch up?

Using my mini box now and it's the same blue as what's on the Main Q 2tb box, doesn't support 4k though

The wireless link disnae have the power captin! I believe it was tested internally and didn't work well. And how many people have two 4k/UHD TV's in the house anyway?
a rhetorical remark?
afaik minis have neither an hevc(4k) decode capable chipset nor hdmi 2.0 ? so a very concious marketting/cost decision
when will mini mark 2 arrive ?, hopefully it is better, like the VW one.
Nope - just pressing the Home button gave the black background. Thought I'd power cycle the box this morning but it seems to have sorted itself out and is blue again this morning without one.
The black background is the accessibility, high contrast option, found in settings.
Thanks, having just found and played with that setting it did look similar to that. However it's not a setting I was aware of or changed before today. If it happens again I'll check to see what that setting is.
I'm thinking of getting another Sky Q Mini box for my study so I can watch TV while working. Do Sky just send the Mini box in the post and you install it yourself or do they send an engineer to do it for you? I hope I can install it myself. It isn't exactly hard to plug an HDMI cable in and a power lead into the wall and then getting it to connect to the Wifi.
Engineer visit in case a booster is required.
Ah, OK. Thanks. That is a bit of a shame.
It is, but better than clueless customers trying to put one in their summer house in the garden or a far flung corner of the house that doesn't get a wifi signal anyway.
And having to send out an engineer, and an hour or so of their time, kind of gives slightly more credence to charging £99 for the mini box and installation.
If a customer was installing it themselves the box is not worth anything more than about a tenner.
A bit more than that. Wireless ac access point and HD capable output with Dolby digital via HDMI?
That does unfortunately mean I have to tidy up my study so that it is fit for other people to see
.I meant it's about a tenners worth of parts, at cost to sky, or whoever builds it for them.
Well that is annoying, was just watching a film I downloaded on iplayer the other day and thought I'll stop it and watch the end upstairs.
Turns out it expired tonight and automatically removed itself from the box so I guess I won't be seeing the end.
Wish it would warn you or at least notify you that things have been removed. Was looking for something I'd downloaded from sky boxsets the other day and that had removed itself as well.
