*** Sky Q Thread ***

I signed up for the boxsets package in the end.

Not a great deal since you just linked the 50% off which i was given. But since i hate the TiVo box its a welcome change.

So thats £31 a month
Boxsets package
1 Sky Q mini (daughter has assigned this to her room already)

Glad i have a 4x4 matrix so i'll be able to watch what's on downstairs in the bedroom.

If i can get vm to give me a decent price £20 or below for 100mb i'll be happy until we grab a UHD tv sometime in January then i'll have to haggle again for a 2Tb box.
 
Sky are doing an offer if you buy an LG OLED which includes:

Free 2TB Sky Q Box
Free 12 months original bundle
Free 12 months multiscreen subscription

All I had to pay was a one off £60 charge for the Engineer visit.

But I ended up 'upgrading' to the Boxsets bundle to get the 54 HD channels.

So that's £18 a month! Pretty good deal really.

Question - I currently use an Asus RT-N66U router with my Sky Fibre. Will I have to use the Sky router for multiscreen to work properly?

Thats a £2k cost though :D
 
Sorry should have clarified - this is the additional users feature on the website, nothing to do with Q specifically.

You can set up additional users as either 'authorised' with full access or 'secondary' with restricted access, except it's easy for a secondary user to upgrade themselves to 'authorised' which defeats the whole object. I've posted about it on the Sky forum.
 
Anyone done a home move with Sky Q?

Take it that it's no different to normal Sky TV in that we just take the equipment, no need for them to visit the old property?

The guy had to change something at my dish for sky Q install, so if that hasn't been changed at the new address then you'll need an engineer out surely?

Yeah £35 for new house, didn't know if they had to collect anything from the old house but guess they just leave the LNB as most new customers will be Sky Q now.

4k Planet Earth II footage has been added to SKY Q iPlayer but doesn't have HDR, sadly.

One of the main reasons I'm not bothering going 4K just yet well not until next month or Q1 2017 at least just nothing out there in terms of content to justify it for myself yet least not on TV anywho.
 
yes, always interesting to hear from the mugs ready to part with 80-120 per month apparently, they subsidise the better informed;
the presenters also seem to think there will be something worth watching on christmas day too - what is that ?
 
if that was not a rhetorical question :)
slated for vaguely described problems (well it is primetime tv would not want anything too technical)
family 1 : picture becoming grainy and stuttering very hour or so and taking ~30 minutes to reboot (unclear if it was master or minis) - they cancelled
family 2 : 'nothing' worked and could only watch live tv
both families unable to describe the problems ... so not surprising they also said sky phone help was poor.
- in the producers defense the section on puppies was much better quality.
 
I can see people with older houses getting caught out but that should be taken care of by the installer. Maybe they've been moving things around post-install....

My setup works nicely now after a period of instability. I decided the sky q mesh was interfering with Sonos (got periodic dropouts of both) and that the Sky powerline was unreliable / hard to monitor.

So I wired the Silver box to the router, disabled all the Sky Q powerline, disabled the hotspots on a couple of the minis, hooked up some tp-link powerline adapters and wired the minis to those. I then fixed the channels so that I have Sky Q on one channel, Sonos on another and tp-link on the third.

And I'm one of those people paying a fortune for it but I did get cashback / vouchers at signup and then get a discount a couple months later by ringing up and asking!
