Anybody had it installed yet?

Couple of boys from work have it installed, but no 4K channels available yet.


Steve.

4K later in the year. Software upgrades will be fairly frequent as they add new features. No iPhone App yet but one should be coming as the iPad is fully compatible.

I have upgraded to the SKY Q Silver Box with 4 x Q Mini Boxes all in and working (although current software limitations mean you can only stream to 2 Mini Q boxes at one time).
Installation wise it's very clean as the Mini box is wireless and works by setting up a mesh network with the Q Silver Hub.
The Bluetooth remote that comes with the main box takes some getting used to as it has a touch sensitive pad, you also get a standard remote though.
The new Q menu is typically SKY so excellent and I have installed the Q App on my Lenovo Android tablet and that works brilliantly.
On the cost side, which is the reason most people will either delay or put off, it's an expensive initial outlay but you do get brand new equipment, interface and features unique to SKY.
The ability to watch recorded programs on any TV with a mini Q or the app is a great feature as is the Wifi hotspot.

Overal I'm very impressed and as said this is just the beginning so expect Powerline support, 4k and an increase in simultaneous streams in the cominf months amongst other features.

I know a few people with it installed. :p Tis good

Hardware costs aside it's only a small premium over traditional multiroom and it offers a lot more.

Have they opened it up to non sky broadband customers yet?

You can register here Paul and it should be available very shortly.
