Give Sky a call as they will be more than happy to place a Sky Q order for you.

So am I entitled to a free upgrade? As I have out of date products.


The 'VIP Upgrade' from Sky+ to Sky Q is typically 'free' (as in no up-front fee) but beware of hidden costs such as a mandatory Q Mini box (with associated Multiscreen subscription)

 

Also note that Sky no longer facilitates reversion from Q to Sky+ during a 'cooling off' period: it's either keep Q or cancel Sky.

But the go connect only lets you have the option to connect to sky q


That's correct, because the current Sky Go app is descended from what was the Sky Q app.

You can continue to use the Sky+ app until it stops working (or the device hosting it fails, as the app is no longer available to download onto a replacement device)

 

Sky are very unlikely to put Plus functionality into Go because ultimately they want everyone off the Plus platform: Q now has something like 80% of the satellite subscription base.

Comcast paid $39 billion for Sky in 2018: their stockholders would probably quite like a return on that, yes.

Sky can get me off Sky+ when I cancel my subscription.
