User accounts for sky tv

[Steffb13]

Is there anyway or will it be introduced to have sky tv user accounts.  My house has 4 sky q boxes and obviously they are for different people and sometimes we record shows that we all watch and obviously if I start a show that someone else has also watch it then doesn't pick up where they paused or atoooed so I wondered if in the future we could have user accounts

It has been raised here many times but alas it doesn't seem likely.  But only Sky know what they have in the pipeline.

hi @Steffb13 

I think many people would really like some form of user profiles to be able to separate recordings etc. especially families / households with differing tastes 

As @PandJ2020 it has been raised and I think that SKY have found implementing such a system challenging - it is somewhat different when recordings are stored physically on a single SKY box as SKY Q is, versus streaming (or SKY HD with Separate physical boxes)

Maybe one day it will be implemented but it doesn't seem likely in the near future unfortunately

@Steffb13 as @PandJ2020 has said it has been asked for since Q was released in February 2016.

A bit like reminders as its never been implemented by now then the chances are that it won't be implemented at all I'm afraid to say
