New sky box

Hi, we're looking to

see if there is a newer sky q box available as we're having a media wall and don't want to build the space too large if there is a smaller model available. Please can you advise what's the newest box.

Does sky stream work the same as sky q?

@James751 No it's a completely different system that runs off broadband connection not satellite

and has no local storage capacity for recordings

No. The main Q box is unchanged. (And is likely to have a limited lifespan due to satellite decommissioning is 2029 or so)

The last main Q box was released in late 2019, and is essentially no difference in size from the original early 2016 model. Q Mini boxes haven't changed form-factor in a decade.

Stream is a fundamentally different platform, albeit accessing broadly the same content range.
