What do i think of Sky Q. This is a small basic video about that and whether you should get it yourself. There are pros and cons if your considering upgrading from sky HD / sky plus.

I got Sky Q earlier this year after renewing my contract after having having the previous Sky package. After several months of having Sky Q I have to say I am very happy and quite impressed.

a good thing to try is if your not bothered about being in contract all the time phone them up when they have good deals on and get it cheaper all the time, i had mine for 6 months then switched to stream but was rubbish went back to q after a week and they did a huge discount i got £38 off a month for everything on tv. like for eg sky sports is £30 but they did it for £16 for me

Having briefly tried sky Q I’m in no rush to ‘upgrade’ the UI appears to have gone backwards, when u change channel all you see is the channel name and number , not what’s on what’s coming up time date etc , the back button seems to take you all the way back rather than one step felt very clumsy navigating the menus compared to sky plus

i think tbh the sky+hd was better, i prefer Q as in u have spotify, netflix etc on it and the ui is clean, but i think the features on +hd were better. they might update probably maybe

I have been totally disappointed by Sky Q picture quality, it is dreadful, I bought a top of the line Sony OLED and Sky Q is just unable to put a high quality HDR 4K picture out, it’s so bad we end up watching everything in 1080P and have to rely on the TV’s built-in apps for high quality viewing.

@@matthewella8280 HDR content is either too dull or washed out (grey), it doesn’t auto switch to HDR or if it does, it doesn’t switch off when you go back to SDR content. It’s so frustrating. Switch to built in apps on the TV and the content is glorious, particularly on services that have a calibrated mode, like Netflix. Sky F1 UHD is pretty worthless as very little of the race content is in UHD, mainly just the set pieces with the presenters talking to camera.

Is it worth getting this if they phase out satellite dishes in 2023?
@paulisthebest3uk Жыл бұрын
Even if sky decide to phase out installing dishes, the service will be available for at least 10 years give or take afterwards. There is no rush to get everyone to streaming technology. MPEG2 technology from the original sky digital platform from 1998 is still going in 2022, also you cannot convert everyone to internet iptv, and also what about rural areas that cannot stream internet tv at all. Grab it, if you want it, and even if they did stop your service, sky would say by bye to their own contract terms
