I can only get fibre from virgin unfortunately... The bt thing is quite annoying as adding it to a sky TV and virgin internet package is pretty expensive! Could do with a bit of discount!

inspector Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 (edited) Moving house within the next week. I have the full whack of Sky(TV, broadband and phone). Have had this for 30 odd years. Phoned up today to find out how much it would be for the same package but at the new house. Bare in mind I was going to need a new dish and router plus all the other bits I would need. Cost....zero. Quite pleased. Don't care if I'm selling my soul to the devil. Free is good. And it's £10 cheaper than I'm currently paying Edited August 26, 2020 by inspector Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 I'm in negotiations with Sky on renewing my tv/broadband. They're offering a free upgrade to Sky Q. Is this going to end up costing me more in the long run? I know the Sky Q box does all sorts of magical things, but I'm happy enough staying with my 'normal' box if it works out cheaper.

Samuel Camazzola Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 Has anyone purchased the Sky Soundbox? Looks to be a good offer if you're a Sky Subscriber and as it's a bit of kit engineered by Devialet, makes it more appealing. I'm considering getting one. Just have to think how it can be set up as my TV unit won't accommodate it at the front. 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ribble Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 Big announcement coming from Sky this week, rumoured to be that Sky are about to launch a range of Sky branded 4K QLED TV's with SkyQ (including apps such as IPlayer, netflix, prime and disney+) and a Dolby Atmos soundbar built in. They will be designed for SOIP (Sky over IP) meaning they will run on broadband and there will be no need for a Sky dish on the side of your house/flat.

They will be designed for SOIP (Sky over IP) meaning they will run on broadband and there will be no need for a Sky dish on the side of your house/flat. The TV set was leaked last week - noting 3 sizes. SkyQ over IP isn't really a big leap, the existing Sky on demand platform has been built up over a decade. The IPTV aspect of things comes from their learning with NowTV and sister companies around Europe (eg Sky Italia). NowTV and it's previous incarnations were horrific but improved when peering links between ISPs improved. On BT Broadband the network was reworked a few years back to deliver every major video & consumer data service (from Netflix to Playstation/Microsoft) to remove buffering & slow downloads. Unless your home network is a bag of spanners then most broadband customers with at least 50mbps should be able to stream at least 4 live HD TV streams. I expect they'll sell Sky over IP as a Sky Broadband only service. If you follow NowTV's specs - it may not do 4k initially, it's HD TV channels require 7-8mbps. I would expect them to outline minimum broadband speed requirements to be able to offer a recording option (ie. 30mbps min so that after allocating half that for TV that there's enough capacity for reasonable web browsing etc). I'd also guess that Sky Broadband's routers (in their access network and the home) would be reconfigured to prioritise video over all other IP traffic. My initial guess is that they will not have recording facilities built in since the purpose of the service is "Live and On Demand." The a rumour about a "Sky Cloud" solution so that recordings are held online supports that idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazo Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 If it doesn’t have a recording feature it will fail imo. The all in one solution must be able to do everything the sky Q box can do now or the take up will be poor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
