SKY STREAM 8 months later - But has it got any better!

So today we take another look at Sky Stream and answer some of your questions. After 8 months has it got any better or is it still a littl buggy here and there.

The Sky Stream Puck has been around a little while now but should you move to it, I highlight the reason why I chose it over Sky Glass and Sky Q.

So are you thinking of moving to Sky Stream? If not why?

I still have my sky HD box and I’m keeping it & here’s why. Say the football game kicks off at 7:45pm…I set record for it, I watch say ITV Corrie and at commercial break put on the kettle and fill the T-pot, come back & sit down to watch the second half of Corrie, when that’s finished I pour my strong brew come back and sit down & start my footy recording from the whistle, then when the ref blows for half time I go live to the channel just as second half is about to blow. No Ads & from one prog straight to another when I choose. I do this with most TV programming as I also have BT box, Google Chrome, Amazon 4K stick, Roku & many many apps on my 5 TV’s whilst gaming too. Best of all NO ADVERTS.

This is my favourite tech channel on YouTube. Thanks for the video reviews

[nathancook]

My only concern with Sky S is that i have TNT Sports for WWE and with having sky q i tend to watch it the next day but with seems of it the stream doesn’t offer the option to watch it the next day due to it not uploading to the stream instantly

[SuperLeehowarth]

can you browse up and down the channels? So if I was on BBC2 could i go up and down a channel and flick through to see whats on or do you have to choose from the guide or OSD ?

[unclejonga]

Great video. What is the current delay via Sky Q for example of live broadcasts? Yeah want Sky Stream but when will we see the delay from live to our side be drastically cut down?

[ianja-wufq]

Had sky stream since last October on multiroom - has been great but like all sky stuff just annoys me the price hikes! Have invested in Apple TV 4K which is brilliant & covers my USA apps which u should consider doing Steve.
Videos are great & very entertaining

[MrTrevorbush]

Top quality review as always mate! Keep them coming

[MichaelMartin-lvfs]

I have Sky Q and only watch recorded programs like the snooker on Eurosport and the F1 highlights on Channel 4. Are those programs still available to view after they have aired on Stream?

[OfficialRobertGaming]

It’s got to be said tho, as good as it is, if you have sky q multi screen it is better, you can record, you still get access to “playlists” thru the box sets and catch up areas, get all the apps and you can move the mini boxes where you like

Plus the fact if the internet goes down it still works!

[alpinaman]

Hiya mate, great update thanks. Could I ask you to check how the subtitles are, are they easy to read and comprehend? On live programs like the news and on something like a series please? Thanks mate 👍

Great video Steve

I used to have the Sky Stream pucks but switched back to Sky Q.

Sky Stream had its bugs with constant app crashes and box freezes but seeing this has made me see that it’s improved significantly.

I know from reading up the press releases that Sky have the SES Astra contract for 28.2 & 28.5 degrees east satellites until 2028.

One would assume we have 5 years left until Sky will switch over to IP completely?

OfCom has asked the BBC to build up proposals to broadcast using IP, whether we like it or not TV is switching to IP.

Overtime I feel Sky Stream and Glass will be solid products as what happened with Sky Q when it launched it had a lot of issues.

The Sky Q hardware is getting old and with more and more apps demanding more from the hardware technology needs to keep moving forward.

Hi Steve great to see you back mate hope you're doing well,
I've had SKY stream for 5 months now i got it after watching one of your videos on it, SKY should pay you commision lol.
When i first had it it had a few blips but now i get no issues at all, my broadband is 1000mbs down and 1000mbs up, i think SKY stream is definately the way to go if you have a fast solid broadband.
I love how i can just move the puck to the bedroom if i'm having a very lazy day or if i'm ill.

[marzinaallah-ditta]

Would be better if the remote was rechargeable instead of old style batteries..

[GLOBEREVIEWS]

For me I prefer the record function on sky Q, I don’t like having to rely on servers or possibly being redirected to other apps just to watch stuff, just me

[hustlebrandz]

Got this today. Seems great. Only problem I noticed was the Apple TV app was not playing in UHD. The quality was not the same as the app on my tv. All other UHD on sky itself looks good and crisp. Not sure what the issue is with Apple TV?

[paulyh]

Only thing that puts me off, if your internet goes down which it seems to more lately, you will have nothing. With a dish or aerial at least your not going to loose TV altogether.

[welshcaesar]

Ive got Sky Q so no need to downgrade.

[wobble]

If there are adds, you wont be able to fast forward through them as when you have recorded a programme. So your left with putting up with it or go premium on all the channels you use. Also you have an excellent internet speed. You need to cost in that too.
