Anyone got this? Any good? How many extra boxes can you have? They don't need a cable run to them, is this right?
Think I've had enough of paying virgin for 15 years for what now is sub standard wi fi that constantly drops out for Tv apps.....

It's ok, but expensive (I have it only because I got a very good deal)
I'm effectively paying 9 quid a month for Sky sport in UHD.
Once the deal ends, I'll get rid of it.
sky q silver one main box and two sub boxes, much smaller than the old sky boxes and no they don't need cables, only the main box needs to be connected to the dish, word of caution they work much better with sky broadband, it caused issues for me with bt infinityQuote:

And you can watch live TV & recordings on a your tablet too.
I've had it since July & I think it's fantastic. No more expensive if you already had multiroom too.
I've got it, love it, although the wifi range is still shocking, two paces outside the back door and you're back to 3G.
You can record 4 shows at the same time and watch a fifth, yeah I know but the Mrs watches a load of American shite.
Best bit, download a show downstairs, watch it later in bed
I didn't have any issue with BT Infinity with Sky Q. I switched to Sky Fibre as it was a good offer and I'd switch from them once my contract is up for a better deal.
As a new customer then what should I pay a month? Need it in 3 rooms, so main box and 2 mini hubs, no movies (all guff) or sports, decent speed b band.
£80 or less?
A lot less than that
can you watch different channels in different rooms ( ala multiroom)...i.e. watch movie in one room and have kids stuff on at same time in another ? (what about the 3rd box....could you be watching something different on that as well ?)
cia
yes and yesQuote:
