Re: SKY Q


[re: time2die] [link to this post]
 
I agree on the retention deals. There is probably so many people on deals that the people not on deals are surely paying more to cover the cost.

Really all providers should have the price on the website and thats it for everyone, dont like it then dont sign up, sadly tho it seems there is all sorts of offers, and its up to the computer whether you qualify.

I can tell you when I cancelled sky tv years ago I was never offered a deal, so its not an automatic way to get a deal.

I took the 35% deal on the Sky package, Sky+HD works for us for now as does Sky Go Extra.

They even gave me a £50 credit for multi-screen, go figure.

Depends on your subscription and what you pay to be honest,it is hit and miss on who you get on the other end of the phone.

I mean they are not to worried if your paying just for a basic package and don't subscribe to the money channels such as Sky Sports and Sky Movies.

Its always worked for me and they have always reduced the subscription or offered me deals.

I've had Sky q a few weeks now and can honestly say we haven't found any issues and there is no chance we would go back. For us it just works, we now have sky in 3 rooms and the wifi signal is far better than previously with an AirPort Extreme. We live in a decent sized 4 bed.

I actually have Ethernet around the house but haven't bothered using it with the sky boxes.

Everyone will have an opinion i remember when the updated Sky hd UI went live everyone hated it.

For me Sky have delivered I now have access to all my sky channels around the house and would highly recommend it.

Didn't take long did it ?

Im still going to wait until they have ironed out some of the flaws,whats interesting is how is Sky Q going to work as well as it should when they advertise the system and Sky Hub as been pretty essential to get the best out of the system.

Looks like the SKY hub is needed for Powerline and also the 5Ghz, but it also looks like it would work for any "normal" house network.

There's an article, can't find it at the moment, which explains how the Airties tech works. Basically it does actively select the best way to connect all the devices together even splitting data across wifi, powerline and ethernet.

The Q boxes will preferentially connect over the 5GHz band if possible.
