Switch from Sky Q to Sky Stream

Clembosis — Sat, 18 Jan 2025 11:23:13 GMT

Currently have a Sky Q 2TB box and one mini box.

Experiencing connection issues even after an engineer visit (repositioned the booster) and moving to Sky Full Fibre 500.

Engineer said signal from dish wasn't great but due to location couldn't fix.

As I now have very good broadband I was thinking of Sky stream (without Sky glass). Is this possible? How do I arrange this?

Or should I have the dish looked at?

Thanks in advance.

It's certainly possible, though you would need to call to arrange it.

However do research Sky Stream thoroughly before you decide. It's not the same as Sky Q, most notably, there's no local recording service, and it's obviously totally reliant on your broadband service.

Don't bother Sky Stream is crap! Laggy, buggy, Lipsync issues etc.

And in the interests of balance, Sky Stream works perfectly ok for me.

Same here.

Have no issues with my Sky Stream.

See my signature for my happy journey form Sky Q to Sky Stream in Feb 2024 and beyond.
