hi @Glitterbabe60

The email is likely to be genuiine but is likely to have been sent to all owners of the older SKY+/HD boxes without taking into account any users where the Communal Systems are not capable of being upgraded.

Although it may not be relavant if your system cannot work with SKY Q, you may wish to read some notes I have made for people considering switching from SKY +/HD to SKY Q

SKY +/HD to SKY Q
