Re: Sky HDR
Optical input?? For the sound to get from the Sky Q box to your Sonos Playbar, the Sky box would need an optical OUTPUT, which they all have. What am I missing here??

Re: Sky HDR
No Q box is going to have any audio input: that's very unlikely on a source device. They all have optical audio output, and Mini boxes have an additional option of stereo analogue output alongside composite video over a minijack adapter.

Re: Sky HDR
Sorry got my inputs and outputs mixed up!!!
From the earlier response I take it that the Sky Q 2TB HDR has the Optical Audio output right?
Just asking as it's important to my config, and some of my other boxes such as my Amazon Fire TV Cube and my Apple TV dropped the Optical Audio capability.
Thanks again.

Re: Sky HDR
HDR would have been a nice upgrade but unfortunately my Q box does not support it! So basically, as a long standing Sky subscriber you get less for your subscription than a newcomer. I realise it's a hardware issue, but it smacks of the old issue that new subscribers get a better deal than existing subscribers.
Just moaning.

Re: Sky HDR
@NMF26 yes but new subscribers have newer technology to the boxes it's not sky's fault as such just the tech didn't exist when us early subscribers got the boxes

Re: Sky HDR
Yeah, I know that and as I said, it's just me moaning. Perhaps they could enable us existing long standing subscribers to swap the box for one that will enable HDR?

Re: Sky HDR
Have they said there will be and upgrade system? OK, I didn't know that. Let's see what happens then. Not that I don't believe you, but where did they say that?

Re: Sky HDR
I'd like to see that statement on their web site. Along with them saying it would be a non-cost upgrade!

Re: Sky HDR
@NMF26 ask them to implement it then. (There's absolutely no pleasing some people)
