SKY Q demo and review

A look round the SKY Q BOX and a guide to using SKY Q

[Catrionaannegray]

Thank you very much for showing us how to use the sky q remote control because when my parents and I moved into our new house we are getting sky q box.

I'm getting mine soon, very excited as I've had old Sky for over 10 years, thanks for the video

As a severely visually impaired person I now have difficulty actually watching T.V. and find 'audio description' increasingly useful. I had the older sky boxes and the EPG was fairly easy to see. At time of writing, I'm unsure how I'll manage using SKY Q as I've really been forced to upgrade as my box died on me today with some recordings still on it which I'll now not get a chance to listen to which is annoying. I think SKY should think of ways of helping customers with this issue? My only problem with your excellent video is you said nothing about getting radio programmes on the new SKY Q? Another video would be great to cover this feature of sky which I was fairly familiar with on the older boxes?

What I don't like about Sky Q compared to Sky+ is that there is no Reminder feature to remind you of programs you want to watch in the future. I use to use this all the time. Now I have to try to remember them or write them down on a piece of paper like a caveman!

I will be getting SKY Q in three weeks time. I have this tutorial video very helpful.👍

Such a shame Sky did away with the reminder button used it all the time on my previous box!!

Just jumping on to say a big “Thank You” I just got my Q box yesterday and couldn’t get the audio description off and it was driving me mad….2 mins in with you and it’s sorted

Does the remote have to make that tapping noise - that annoys me

I hate sky Q, it’s so backwards. You have to press the down arrow to go UP on the channels. Also the favourite button which was usually the blue button, now you have to press 20 options to get to your favourites (I’m exaggerating a bit but still...). I prefer sky HD+ or whatever it’s called - one downgrade from sky Q. I hate sky Q with passion, it’s too interactivity and has so many navigation options. I miss it’s simplicity with the old sky boxes.

Thanks for the review. Ordered my Q plus broadband a couple of days ago. Been with sky for about 27 years. Sacked virgin media broadband and phone also about 27years, their reliability and foreign call centres became absolutely atrocious! Seven weeks without broadband because the call centre kept saying they had ordered and dispatched a new hub but each time it transpired the hadn't. 37 calls in one day and got a UK agent, problem solved, new hub I three days. Amazing how virgin don't call back as promised but now I'm leaving they have called and text me five times (in three days) asking what they can do for me to stay (told them, give it all for free and I'll still leave). Anyway taking sky Q plus broadband plus telephone (national and international calls included) equals a total monthly saving (drum roll 😂) £90 per month. Install in two weeks.

Many thank you for such a useful video. All the very best.👍🎄

Can you get text on the sky q remote like the old sky hd remote

[ishhh]

As a advisor working for sky, nice review!!

[warzoo]

You can't record to dvd so that messes me up because I like to record all the football as there is too much to watch before the box fills up, and it's nice to collect many games for posterity.
I am very unhappy that sky plus is being phased out

[danielosullivan]

Question guys is it much better than the sky box I’ve had for 8 years is it worth doing is it much better or not as sky have just sent me a message saying at no extra cost do I want free installation of sky Q……. ????

[ChavJag]
