Sky Stream vs Sky Go

wbpcd — Sun, 02 Jun 2024 10:42:25 GMT

Still on Sky+ but more and more just use the Sky Go app on Apple TV except for the occasional recording. Do use RF out to watch on other TVs so would need extra pucks. Trying to work out the advantages of moving to Sky Stream. Would probably go for full package as already paying over £100.

Any advice appreciated.

Have you confirmed your BB is adequate for Sky Stream?

Depending on the Subscription channels you watch .... if exclusively Sky Subscription Channels you could save a lot of money going for NOWTV especially if your BB connection speed to the internet is marginal for Sky Stream😉

Hi @wbpcd , I've just moved back to Sky Stream from Sky Q due mainly to the fact that Sky Q's so called mesh ( that piggy backs your own WiFi if your not on Sky Bradband) is flakey to say the least, I've had no issues so far with Sky Stream and I run 3 pucks on my Deco X50 WiFi mesh (on VM 1gb Broadband), I would say if you have a strong WiFi network and don't feel the need to physically record programs then Sky Stream is probably the way to go, also, all the pucks are UHD ready whereas only the main Sky Q box is, the mini boxes are only good for HD, hope this helps.

On 400Mb fttp so should be no problem with BB speeds. Wi-Fi at 100Mb.
