PS4 and Sky Go

[Calculator]

I was planning on getting an additional Sky+ HD box for a cinema install but they want silly money for the box. They suggested I use a PS4 and Sky Go.

Will I still be able to stream in HD? Will there be any quality implications? I'm spending quite a bit on the install and don't want to have to watch low quality Sky.

Is it easy to use on the PS4?

Dont think its a hd stream, but i have a 42" screen and am about 8 feet away picture seems fine.

Its easy to use but isnt full sky ie no access to your planner and not all channels.

Are you sure you dont want SkyQ? Dont have it myself but it seems to be able to do all you want and probably not that much more than sky with a second sky box.

I use this. The interface is terrible (no resume, or previously watched etc). It also takes a lot of bandwidth (stop the kids using YouTube while you are using it!).

The picture is not supposed to be HD but it is pretty good (the footy the last few weeks as looked HD to me).

Good for what you pay but nowhere near as good as having an extra Sky box or SkyQ.

I also use it while travelling on the iPad and on that it is brilliant!

Everything is 60Hz, so if you like sport don't bother, looks like a flicker book.

I think the picture is much better definition than SD. My streaming via PS4 app with fibre broadband only pauses/buffers when attempting to view popular live sport - I think they struggle with high demand.

Yeah the picture is great. But it is all converted to 60hz when all content is 50hz, which gives lots of judder, it is having to repeat certain frames to show 60hz.

Hmm I find it very good. It is not HD of course but very good SD. I don't see any noticeable flicker to be honest and I watch quite a lot of football using it.
