Sky Q gets a lot of bad press on the forums, but i can honestly say, that after having it for nearly a month that it couldnt be better. I have the Silver box, and have a wired connection to my router and wireless connection to the mini, and it hasnt dropped once. I dont really have one bad word to say about it except for the price

Sucks that ou cant watch 4k on the mini, also it would be nice that they give you the option to decide which controller you can have with the sky box and the touch remote can be a pain and have a mind of its own sometimes

Can the sky q mini box record programmes too? Or can it only stream recordings that were recorded on the sky q 2tb box?
@SteveMayUK8 жыл бұрын
Yes, you can make recordings from the Sky Mini. These recordings are made on the Sky Q box, as a Mini has no local storage. You can basically do everything you can do sitting in front of your Q box, when in front of a Mini. Hope that helps.

also makes your old boxes unuseable as needs a new LNB for H signal down one cable and V signal down the other
@kevprescott668 жыл бұрын
Hi , so it's 2 high quality coax cables from the LNB..does the Astra Satellite send out the signal like sky but moves the freq to get 4 signals on or does the LNB do the splitting and frequency moving(like a Stacker/destaker then sends down 2 cables ...i hope that makes sense..sorry if it doesn't
@SteveMayUK8 жыл бұрын
The wideband LNB used by Sky Q routes the entire satellite feed down to the box, which does the channel splitting. That's why a Sky Q LNB can';t be used with a classic Sky+ box.
@kevprescott668 жыл бұрын
Thanks for your quick reply , if the box does the splitting would you not need 4 feeds from the dish like how a multiswitch works or does the box work like a multiswitch inside and split to 4x4 bands..
@SteveMayUK8 жыл бұрын
Just two. All horizontal frequencies come down one cable and all vertical frequences come down the other. The box does the rest.

Doubt youd know but why is the ethernet port covered? I was thinking of using ethernet for mine
@SteveMayUK8 жыл бұрын
Just how it ships. The Ethernet port is live and that's how my Silver Sky Q is connected to my network, using Powerline. The Minis need to connect to the Silver, either wired via a router, probably via a Switch, or over Wi-FI (which is obviously more convenient). Hope that helps.

When I pause a programme in one room and try and restart it in another room it says I am not currently watching anything. What should I be doing
@SteveMayUK8 жыл бұрын
If you're watching a show on your Q box and then leave it to watch on a Mini, just go to My Q then (right) Continue and you'll see your programme. When you select it, it'll carry on where you left off.
@Poppy_heartsforme8 жыл бұрын
Yes I know the process but its not working
@SteveMayUK8 жыл бұрын
I've not encountered that particular problem. A headscratcher. I'd restart the Q then the mini, check the two boxes are linked and that you can play your recordings remotely. If that's still not sorted it, check out the various Sky Forums for help.
@b4chch4n8 жыл бұрын
I don't like the idea that your only allowed one Sky Q Silver box per household, which don't suit my setup as I have 3 Sky HD boxes & 2 sky links coming of two of the boxes, so I have 5 rooms with sky, but that's not the only issue with the new box! Anything anyone wants to record in the house all goes on the one box, that's rubbish between three members in my house sky Q will be full in a couple of weeks, so I'm going to have to skip it😢
@SteveMayUK8 жыл бұрын
+b4chch4n I think Sky wants to shift people more from timeshifting to streaming. So Sky Classic (just made that up) may still be the best option for some…

Yes, only the LNB is different. Your existing twin coax cables remain unchanged.

Excellent thanks for that..they gave me an offer but my existing cables are under the floor.and I didn't want more cables coming in from the dish...this may just sway me now

When u get this box you don't own it like the rest of them you are renting it from Sky if u cancel you sub you have to return the box , they have changed the dish so you can't use any other satellite box and they expect people to pay 100 Euro a month for replete TV, it's a lot cheaper to go get a zgemma H2s and use the FTA or(this is 100% illegal) get a sky ''gift'' from an eBay seller and you get every Sky channel for 50 Euro a year
