Probably the only noticable difference is a new option 

Home - Settings - Setup - Prefernces

Smart Standby Mode 

(on by default)

which also switches the SKY Q box with the Long Press TV power off (assuming HDMI control is on) - i.e. a single (long) press switches off both the TV & SKY Q box

@MightyQuinn yep Q24 has been amalgramated with Q25 

 

the main 2 changes are as follows

 

Press and Hold Standby will also turn off the TV as well as the Sky Q box.

 

 Reduce the time the banner for watch from the start is on screen

Re: New software

I believe the menu tiles and text are bigger as well making them easier to read but I could be imagining that.   Though weirdly now I've noticed it not all tiles are the same height making some more prominent than others so it could be a prominence / prmotion thinng thing or slinging with external content as own content seems taller for example in sport top picks is noticeably taller. I'm finding tiles much easier to read which is a good thing.

Re: New software

@PandJ2020 We need to keep pushing Sky to bring it back.

No point otherwise it would have been added by now. Anyway, with probably only another 4 years of satellite broadcasting from Sky, there really is no point.

They can't bring back what wasn't there to begin with.

My reply was tongue-in-cheek of course.  Development on Q will almost certain be 'in maintenance' now whilst they eventually transition away from the dish....

Re: New software

I was only joking as well. Sky Q will be gone by 2025 or thereabouts I suspect.

 Stream is the way forward but it needs to be improved.
