And those of us who don't want the tv?
im not alone in recording it's one of the best things Q does.
I am not a fan of how streaming UI work, I like to know where they are and find them easily lol.
I guess it will be just time to move on then. We only have it for husbands documentaries and the movie channels mostly anyway now.
You don't need to buy a TV from Sky. The Sky Stream puck is seen as the replacement for Sky Q - it's a small box that connects to your existing TV using a similar HDMI cable. It doesn't record from satellite though, it streams everything using your broadband connection.
If you want Sky Stream then it is essential that you make sure you can provide a fast and stable broadband connection at all times. There is no engineer support for Sky Stream - it is entirely self install so you need a certain level of tech savviness in order to set it up and maintain it.
There are plenty of alternatives to Sky these days. If you choose to switch to streaming your TV then you can purchase your own streaming device and subscribe to the services that you want to watch. This more DIY approach can often work out cheaper in the long run, depending on what you watch and how you like to watch it. You can even get all the same Sky Documentary and Movie channels you get on Q by using the NOW TV app without any need for a full Sky TV subscription via Q, Stream or Glass.
