Has anyone got Sky Q yet?

Our ancient Sky HD box started misbehaving recently so I bought a new one to replace it, after first looking into Sky Q. But it's expensive, we've no use for it's multi-room or multi-simultaneous recording, and you don't actually own the equipment. The 4K material's going to be mostly sport, which we've no great interest in. We've a Samsung 4K TV & can get 4K through Netflix and Amazon; OK, it's potentially not as good as 4K via satellite, but still very good indeed.

I'll be waiting a bit for this, too early to dip into it IMO.

If you have a full Sky package including Sports, Movies and had multi-room box, then the cost is marginal and for some people its actually a reduction.

The multi-room does work well, though in some cases the UI is less friendly than the Sky+HD interface - or at least takes some getting used to.

4K will be both movies and sports with (afaik) live sports being via satellite and movies via progressive download - so you'll need a reasonable speed internet connection if you're not going to wait overnight for the download.

Generally I would say it works as advertised...

Ok cheers for feedback.  I read Sky details more clearly and - unsurprisingly - to get the full 4k capabilities you need their 'plus' version.

Their marketing nature always irks me, even though Sky is leagues ahead of Virgin.

Yes you need the SkyQ Silver box.

I was keen initially when this was released, however, I have 4 multi room boxes at the moment. This gives me (potentially) 8 recordings + 4 live. Very disappointed to find that maximum on Sky Q is  much reduced. Also it would appear that there is only one store and, therefore, all  recordings by the four of us will be presented as  a single library.
