best from its introduce we reckoned the new sky Q system sounded like just what we needed at the Automated Home so we put our purchase the very first day it ended up being available. It’s been 10 days because it was installed, so is this the 21st Century TV experience we were expecting or is everything a bit of a let down?
The Installation
Our engineer turned up around 9:30am as well as was perturbed to hear we were a BT Web house. The next 5 minutes were spent on the trials as well as tribulations of a sky installer particularly on exactly how it works fine with sky routers however whatever else is a “lottery.”
When I discussed we wished to by-pass the whole wireless thing completely and go the hard-wired path with the builtin Ethernet ports he admitted he had no concept exactly how to set that up or even exactly how a LAN worked.
Worst of all he told us he was only allotted 85 mins to do our entire system – in shape new meal as well as LNB, set up the primary sky Q Silver box as well as 3 sky small boxes, carry out software application updates etc. He’s expected to do 7 installs a day!
The engineer was a excellent guy, he worked very fast replacing our near 20-year-old rusty meal with a new one (normally you only requirement to modification the LNB for sky Q). The new set up was evaluated at the LNB as well as then once again at the end of our cable televisions – all eco-friendly lights.
The sky Q Silver Box
Our old Sky+ 1TB box was eliminated as well as the skinny new Q DVR slid into its location under the Mac small as well as Sonos. It looks great in black although you can skin it in a range of ways. keep in mind if you are upgrading from an existing sky system you will no longer have gain access to to the recording or season passes on your old box. Our engineer told us he hadn’t fitted any type of of the routine (non-Silver) Q systems.
The Silver box is the brains of the whole operation as well as from what we can discover out its 12 tuners are shared out across the house to the other gadgets something like this:
4 Tuners for Recording
1 Tuner for online TV on the Silver Box
2 Tuners for online TV or Recordings on the Minis
2 Tuners for online TV or Recordings on the tablet App
1 Tuner for the TV Guide
1 Tuner for PIP on the Silver Box
1 Tuner for future utilize (4K?)
Its 2TB’s can store as much as 350 hours of HD TV (there’s around 300GB reserved by sky for other uses). round the back there’s a S/PIDF optical audio out however full Dolby digital audio is offered over the HDMI cable television now. There are a couple of USB ports as well as an HDMI IN for future use.
The Silver box will get a software application upgrade to enable Sky’s 4K service coming later this year (50fps 2160p UHD output utilising HDMI 2.0 as well as HDCP2.2). The non-Silver Q box as well as the small boxes will stay at 1080p. I’ve discovered some routine sky channels have very, shall we state ‘average’ photo high quality these days. I don’t understand much about exactly how these things work however it makes me question is sky compressing channels even much more to capture the maximum out of each transponder, making space for the 4K channels?

For now you get a message when the maximum number are in utilize as well as you have to get a household member to switch theirs to standby to let you utilize yours – or view on a tablet instead.
Up up until now we have always distributed our sky around the home utilizing the RF modulator developed into the old Sky+ Box, so to all of a sudden see sharp 1080p on our bedroom telly is fantastic.
The sky Q small box under the telly – F1 in HD in the Bedroom!
The Mini’s remotes are quickly configuration to manage your TVs volume. Other helpful features include pressing the house button to turn on your TV in addition to the box as well as a long press of the standby button to turn your TV off too.
The UI to select your channels as well as recordings on the minis is similar to the primary box. A good enhancement right here would be to enable each small to filter its own recordings.
Fluid seeing is Sky’s marking moniker for pausing your telly in one space as well as choosing it up in one more as well as this works well.
If you’re a sky Broadband customer, then each small box becomes a wireless gain access to point (2.4GHz as well as 5GHz b/g/n/ac) broadening the protection of your WiFi utilizing this AirTies fit together network. If (like us) you have a different broadband supplier then this function is disabled.
The system likewise has builtin Powerline Networking hardware to send your AV packets across your mains wiring, however strangely this is currently disabled.
Tablets & Apps
You can view online channels as well as your recordings with the sky Q app on an iOS or Android tablet. This works excellent in our home as well as now it’s simple to take sky to the bath!

Rights administration problems rear their unsightly head right here though. try to view a BBC on demand show on your tablet as well as you’ll get a message telling you that you can’t do that. however record the exact same show yourself instead of downloading it as well as it plays fine. រង់ចាំអ្វី? The BBC only want you to view on-demand from their own iPlayer app. That’s just nuts Auntie.
You can copy shows to your tablet to view when you are away from home. I was able to verify from my router web traffic that shows sent from my sky Q box to my tablet were actually downloaded from the Web instead of coming across my LAN. It appears like your recordings are truly sent from the Sky Go platform to your tablet so it’s worth checking you have lots of data (or as well as limitless bundle) with your house broadband contract.
The apps likewise disable the choice to output the tablets display to a TV. So you can’t get round the 2 TV mini limit by hooking up your iPad or Android tablet to your telly.
There’s currently no phone app for sky Q, although they are verified for release sometime later this year. For now you can utilize the old Sky+ app to routine recordings as well as catchup downloads, however you cannot see your planner or view online TV or recordings like with the tablet app. It seems a pity that sky couldn’t have had the phone apps prepared for the introduce of the system, all of us bring a phone, not a tablet. It’s one more indicator that sky Q has been introduced before being completely baked.
So far there’s no method to view sky Q on a PC or Mac (the method you can with sky Go) as well as no word if that’s coming later. personally I’d far rather view on my MacBook than a small tablet screen with a wheezy speaker.
Early Verdict
In the end our engineer spent well over 2 hours on our installation. That’s without any type of of the wireless pain that numerous of his other installs entailed. Sky guarantee Q clients a special experience, however they’re putting far as well much pressure on their difficult working engineers, because of both lack of training in addition to providing them as well bit time to do a great job.
It’s still extremely early days for Q as well as many of the problems discussed on their forums are associated to WiFi problems. however we’ve not seen a single problem utilizing Q through the great old CAT5 cable televisions we buried in our walls in 1999.
Like many similar tech products released, sky Q is a bit of a work in development at launch. There are great deals of bit improvements that requirement to be made, however I’ve no question numerous of them will come over time.
There are other features right here we haven’t even got into like Airplay as well as Bluetooth music playback.
It’s a pity sky won’t enable apps like Netflix as well as Amazon Video on the Q as well as Mini’s which would make this the only system many of us would ever need.
Pricing is a bit opaque however sky state the common continuous monthly expense for existing Sky+ clients will be around £12 additional (as it was for us), while new clients can g
