StevenST13 Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 With the prices sky are changing for it no chance. It seems to me all the TV companies now are just over priced rip offs. I've down graded to minimum package now as I was feed up pay well ova £100 a month for repeats and 99% of channels never got watched cause it was all just crap. Sky Q will be the same 99% of channels will be repeats or not watched cause there crap. So for me I won't be upgrading to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisroberson99 Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Sky is expensive, but a good way to reduce your bill is just to ring up and threaten to cancel. I told mum to do it and they reduced the monthly bill by £10! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSMarsden Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 What is Sky Q? Saw the adverts but was unsure what it actually was? Got VM at mine, simply because the Fibre is pretty damn good. (The odd hiccup but think its because the router is in a cupboard/attic room 3 floors above where I mainly use it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Preecematt Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 I saw Sky's advert for the fluid vision thing lol, I'm guessing this is Sky Q? I'd like Sky simply for the Sports & the kids stuff but we can't justify about £60 a month especially as it would be on top of £59pcm for the BT Infinity. It's still tempting though 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 It's all about wireless streaming of Sky around your house without wires everywhere. Each box acts as a wireless hub so you can have clear wifi wherever in the house you are. Records 3 channels while you watch a 4th one too which is double the capability of Sky+.

Effectively saving you having modems everywhere? Or have I missed something - or is it simply a modem built into the box for downstairs so you dont need both?

Stoney871 Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Not 100% sure but Sky says the boxes are wifi hubs. Whether that replaces the usual Sky hub or not I can't confirm. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk Looking at the website, it looks as though the Sky Q boxes are more of a signal booster rather than the hub itself.

JSMarsden Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Its a pity as it needs more than a box to boost the speed of their broadband anyway! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
