Skyq

Anyone got a release date yet?

I can't wait although I am going to see how much they're gonna try and charge me for the privilege! In particular I'm looking for the wifi streaming and the quality and reliability it brings!

I thought the same. 4K over wireless!! My wifi can't do 1080 decently let alone 4k

I've just spent the past 30 minutes on the phone with Sky re the SkyQ.

I am not a sky customer at the moment.

I went through the full benefits of SkyQ and they seem to be:

1. Ability to record/watch more channels at once - So what
2. Ability to pause a channel/recording, then pick it up at another TV/tablet where I left off - Again, So what
3. Wifi streaming with another mini box at the other end - mmmmm, might be useful to save running cables everywhere
4. Better remote control, with voice activation in the future - So what
5. Only one cable coming from Sky Dish - So what
6. You don't own the box, just rent it, so all future callouts for faults are free - So what
7. It extends the wifi into blackspots - I don't have any!

He then proceeds to tell me the monthly price! OUCH!! No discounts available at all as it's so new. £150 installation fee too!

I said no thanks, and then got offered EVERY channel possible (including movies and Sports all in HD) for £40/month for 12 months, free installation on normal Sky+. Naturally I accepted

Seems this SkyQ is a bit meh (for me anyway).
