Sky HDR

It's quite a few posts back now but "in the coming months".

I think for those of us who have the V1 box, if you are coming up to your contract negotiation then add that into the equation. BT are presently doing Fibre superfast BB, Full TV package with full sport and Netflix for £96. Speaking to cancellations might get you somewhere if you're desperate.

My Q was installed in March, but seems the engineer kindly gave me the old HDR incompatible box. Been looking forward to trying out HDR as well!

@Kei+M  So if my V1 box develops a fault you replace it with a V1 box.. and that makes sense to whom.

[scottief]

@JOHNGALLEY  to sky seemingly who will give customers refurbished boxes.

[JOHNGALLEY]

@scottief  Yes out of contract and saying you will not renew unless your V1 box is replaced with a newer model is the way to go.

[Piesarus]

@JOHNGALLEY  It makes perfect sense to Sky who still have lots of refurbs and the like they need to get rid of. Plus I suspect it dissuades those whose Q box has suddenly developed a mysterious fault post launch of HDR 😊

@Piesarus  For 4 years i have put up with With a humming  in standby,hot to the touch box .. so i thought i may aswell get shot of it now .. and it would seem i will be offered the exact same as a replacement😂😂😂😂😂

@JOHNGALLEY nothing new Sky have always switched faulty  boxes out with refurbished units and as far as I am aware Sky do not actually keep track of what is v1 or v2 their system just says a 1 or 2TB box. The engineers will know which is which but its down to luck whats on the van. 

[JOHNGALLEY]

Just to say i told the Sky operative exactly what i wrote and he said it would require a engineer visit.. to sort the issue.. if i am as it seems offered another V1 box i will endure the current box.

[JOHNGALLEY]

@Chrisee  That's fair enough .. like i wrote i have put up with the current box and it's issues for 4 years.

@JOHNGALLEY @Well given you've had it four years then a natural hum from the PSU and latent heat has not stopped it working. Surely this is just a game of 'wait and see what happens'. Given the very limited content plus C19 pandemic Sky are not going to rush out and replace a million boxes. From a logistical point of view it simply isn't feasible.

@Piesarus try setting your c9 to cinema home in picture settings, set colour garmut to 'auto' and turn off trumotion. HDR looks terrific on my b8 with these setting and not to vivid.

I've have the SkyQ 2TB box the newer version and I have a Samsung 4k UHD HDR10+ engine, watching the lemurs on screen yesterday was out of this world experience the intense colour the sound the graphics and technology, is worth having HDR built in your TV.. Oh watch the nature programmes on the on demand service as it downloads in HDR format also my TV inhances films old and new watching the latest star wars movie in UHD HDR wow.. My TV is only just over a year old.. Any other tvs which are more than 2 years old arnt HDR compatible make sure you have the SkyQ 2TB which has the HDR chip already inside it..

@Piesarus  it's a gamble, if i lose i shall have to wait for whenever the process comes my way.. but it is a issue that i am certain i have read on various forum's, that people have swapped there boxes for the very same reason's .
