I'm still on an elderly Sky+HD box and even older dish which is costing me £80 a month. To rejig will save me £30 a month. No-brainer. Thanks for the run-thru. Very helpful.

[@railvlogger1439]

I have been without SKY for a few years. A couple of days ago I received a letter from them offering me SKY Stream for £23.00 a month. I called them today and told the guy about the offer, and he said he could offer me.a better deal than that. I got it for £15.00 a month, a bargain. The gear should arrive tomorrow. I hope it is as good as you have shown here.

[@Eatos_17]

So… how has it been?

[@robertdamen9117]

I have this new sky steam for two week now. Like the boxes but only things I don't like can't record on it. Fantastic picture and sound. So easy to used . Great live sport

What extras did you go for mate?

[@ChrisCurran-p9r]

Hi mate u mite no get this as vidio was wipe ago is pitcher quality better than sky q??

[@terrythewelsh]

I’ve had Sky stream since day 1, So far has been brilliant, I’m not bothered about not being able to record programmes, fantastic picture, got mine running through a Dolby atmos sound bar, so the sound is great, neat little box so unobtrusive, basically a one box solution, a couple more apps would be good, but all in all well done Sky, love your reviews, keep up the fantastic work 👏👏

[@TheTechGiantYouTube]

Thank you mate. Great to hear you are happy with it.

[@rufdymond]

I’ve never understood why people still have Sky, I got rid of them years ago when they refused to give me a good deal after my contract expired. Their prices are extortionate, I can afford it, I just have an aversion to throwing that much money away each month just to watch some TV shows.

[@Rkovenom]

Ur. A noob

[@wrettist]

youre right mate, even in italy theyre degenerating, and good thing they dont have all of serie a or else they would match uk prices

[@ScorpoBeard]

A very good and informative video easily understood even by me as I am a bit of a technophobe! So thanks. I’ve ordered my puck today so hopefully I’ll take a few things from this video and will be connected and streaming in a day or two.

[@christopher4045]

Does anyone know if the box works if you don't have a contract with Sky? i.e. can you still access the tv guide and live tv?

[@johnjames7332]

It doesnt. The aerial input is also disabled on UK models

[@STEVIEDVD]

Put a shirt on, thought he was gonna do weights.🤣

[@bill-hunter]

I placed the order late Monday night and the box arrived Tuesday. Great! that blasted paper preventing the batteries making contact is far too weak for a start, it didn't take very much of a gentle pull to break, and it was such a clean break you wouldn't notice. Anyway, got it sorted and followed the on-screen instructions. Bingo. Off we go. Watched a few progs that interested me then went to bed. This afternoon around teatime I turned on the TV and settled down for a good binge. After about a half hour I noticed the sound fading so I went to turn it up. It didn't work. I tried the original TV remote, yep, that was fine. 5 minutes later the sound vanished, then the picture froze and wouldn't do anything. Then it just went back to the home page with its revolving program offers. I tried everything I could find on KZbin/Google and nothing worked. Strange thing though, although it might be me, you can easily get information on sky glass and sky stream But I'm finding it extremely difficult to find a contact for replacing a duff set up. I do hope it's just a bad remote but unless I find a method of getting a replacement I'll never know.

[@Dob1eman]

I was fairly impressed with sky stream despite some frustrating bugs I thought it was a good product, what as made me get rid of it is the amount of ads they recently introduced to on demand sky shows even if you pay a premium you can only fast forward them but all on demand now has up to 4 ad breaks, even now tv don’t do that.

[@travelwithmephotographybymaxi]

I took the plunge as can’t have a dish. And I have to say I’ve had no issues and absolutely love it. The price is the price i have everything and happy with what I pay. Finally have sky back

[@TheTechGiantYouTube]

[@derekhart3308]

Question when installing do you have to pit in your postcode? As a Sky Q customer, I get STV only way I get around this to add ITV regions to add itv frequency add channels. Or get Freesat with itv1 London. I want get rid Scottish TV channels including bbc 1 Scotland as only watch BBC England regions which can get with Sky Q.

“Recordings” via catch up service are only available for the time the program remains on the catch up service.

So you don’t need to connect a coax cable for live freeview?

[@philiphindson986]

Excellent video Paul, but as you mentioned it’s the recording side, and if you have issues with internet, also using that is there a slight delay, hopefully sky will update with the recording side of it. keep up the good work.

[@michaellee4718]

does it have the babestation channels.

Great review as always . sky stream is a great OTT (over the top ) device allowing any broadband customer get sky TV. Very slick interface and hope cloud recording is expanded

[@janetwalsh7961]

This sounds very expensive. Was thinking of moving from my present subscribers where I have phone,broadband, and TV. I don't record anything but I mainly watched the Asian program I just need to know if Risthe colours and ciniflex is available with subtitles.

[@shann90]

So upgrading the netflix basic pack to hd or uhd is that something new that they've done with sky glass and sky stream. With my sky Q subscription ive got netflix premium doesnt say that im paying any extra for it. Im just assuming its upgraded to premium because i have the uhd pack.

Nice video, thanks, Paul. I've been a Sky customer for years, currently have SkyQ , had to call Sky to negotiate a better deal as the monthly cost crept up to over £80 and don't even have Sky Sports.

Please can I get this from the American 🇺🇸

[@LFC1892KOP]

American here. Yeah, this peaked my interest. I had subscribed to NOWTV off and on for a few years and felt that their prices were nuts. At least doing this option means that all the UK apps are consolidated into this service and all of have to do is make sure VPN stays online. But yeah I’m trying to work the kinks out on this to see if it works!

[@loveflyingandhotels]

Nice video - thank you. What happens when your contract ends? Do you get to keep the box and would you still be able to watch at least the freeview channels? Thank you for your input!

[@scotiajinker8392]

I asked sky if the stream service could use the 4g hotspot from my phone & they said it could. So if your internet goes down you could link your phone to the box. It would be interesting to see that.

[@TazeemAkhter-m3b]

Can you use free channels on stream puck same as old sky boxes Without any charges?

[@markwilliams7223]

Enjoyed the video. I've had this a few weeks now, after leaving sky years ago. Generally very good, had a faulty puck and remote initially which sky replaced. They have just done an update moving the playlist to the top, and the old playlist becomes 'continue watching', which is better than the confusing setup as you described. Biggest issue for me is the HDMI-CEC doesn't work nicely with other devices, eg if you have another device using a HDMI input such as a firestick, and using ARC to output to an AV system, nothing works properly after using the sky box unless you power cycle everything. They really need to fix this asap otherwise I will consider cancelling when my trial is over.

[@john08081979]

Yes that's due to the copyrights that's why it plays up when you try to change the HDMI signals butternut for a reason so you can't copy the content of live channels so it will play it on the HDMI a lot and they won't fix it for one reason they don't want you to have their content lol

Hi tech giant ano its an old vidio can i ask your options please looking in realy time with your own eyes would u say pitcher is sharper & better with sky stream vs q?? Or are they both the same

[@shaunast1]

My question regarding sky glass is, when you are watching tv is it actually live or is it slightly delayed? For an example if you watch sky q and load the same channel on sky go it’s around 2 minutes behind the actual tv version, it’s the same with all streaming services, BBC iPlayer etc.
