Getting a Sky Q Box

[Seekadeal]

Hi 

I've been with Sky for almost over 20 years and have a old sky box. Why havent I been given the option to get a sky q for free or do you have to kay for this. 

.thanks

As you're an existing Sky customer I'd be very surprised if you haven't previously received mail or email advertising Sky Q and more recently Sky Glass. Give Sky a call and see what deal you negotiate.

Hi @Seekadeal   Just be aware that the "free" loan of a Sky Q box will be an old original 1TB box with no UHD and only record 3 programmes at once. It really is worth paying the admin fee for a descent box with UHD and record 6 programmes at once. Once changed you cannot go back. Sky Q is completely different.

There have been various 'VIP Upgrade' schemes: how 'free they are is debatable (for example a Q Mini is typically bundled whether wanted or not, and that has an additional monthly cost).  Sky will certainly want you to migrate to Q so you're in a good position to negotiate, unless you're in the situation where you don't have your own dish and the communal system isn't yet converted for Sky Q.
