Who's switching from Q to Stream?

Why are they testing on a mobile connection ?

It carries on with the next episode in the series as said before it looks forward not backwards. If you want older stuff check the playlist options new drop on the Play Now rail.

It will depend on how quickly ITV, BBC put them on iPlayer and ITV Hub really you might not get access to them instantly and if it's anything like F1 you will have scroll from oldest to newest episode.

I think 8/10 is very generous when the review contains sentences like "We encountered a number of box crashes requiring a full reboot (unplug for 30 seconds, then switch back on), and even had live HD channels start stuttering"

Did they refund the set up fee when you returned the pucks ?

@Ed.B. At the same time, suggesting a 4G connection is 40Mb as though that's ever going to have consistent throughput and latency is a bit optimistic.

Just watching a movie quite loud on Netflix via the stream puck and I noticed when I paused it there's a horrible buzz. 

I continued the movie via the app on my TV and it's silent on pause. 

Is this another known 'feature'?

@leemcqueen4270 should still be easy - I'm guessing that your still in cooling off period as stream is less than 30 days old - so should be able to cancel - return pucks for a refund, and set up a new Q contract.  The Q contract will be 18 months though.

I have Sky Superfast Broadband 54mbps will Stream work ok with that speed?

[CardiffMan1992]

@Steve93 

It should easily yes plus an additional puck if you wanted it.

Forget to say I have 17 devices connected to Sky Router 

[CardiffMan1992]

Do any of them consume a lot of bandwidth constantly ? 

[Steve93]

Not sure how to check, I've got 3 tvs,  Sky Q + 2 minis, Hive app, Hive hub, 2 outside cameras, Hive heating, 2 iPads, 2 iPhones, Apple Watch, Sky router,,Apple Mac (not switched on) + 4 cameras connected to a hard drive uses Ethernet to router

First off your if your with Internet is with Sky you will lose the Mesh network you currently have with the Sky Mini boxes. Sky Stream/Glass doesn't do that at all I would say none of them is going to use a massive amount of download speed at once. The only way to truly test is to get Sky Stream/Glass, but first off may I ask what is reason you want to come to Sky Q for me it was because I couldn't get Sky Q. As at moment Sky Stream/Glass is a still a buggy system and you might be better off staying with Sky Q.

I've not decided yet to go with Stream, have read all there is about it on this & other forums, quite happy with Q but I like to try new things.

I did try Glass along with my wife over a year ago, she didn't like it at all so I agreed to send it back, I suppose we could try Stream for a short time to see if it's improved over the last year,  we didn't really give Glass much of a chance.
