Sky Full fibre

[iggledypiggledy]

I have just had full fibre fitted and am wondering if I should now disconnect the sattelite cables that are connected to the back of the Q box.

Also, would it be a good idea to connect the TV or the Q box to the new router with an ethernet cable.

many thank.s

Why would you do that?  It will stop working...  Q requires a satellite feed.

If cabling is an option it is almost always a better option than using WiFi.

The reason that I asked is that the guy who fitted my full fibre yesterday to me the when full fibre is fitted then everything is Wi-Fi and Sky dishes become obsolete.

Simply incorrect, and rather worrying that they might think that.

The dishless Sky television platform is Glass/Stream.  Sky Q is a satellite system.

He told you false information. 
Sky Q is a satellite delivered service. Without the dish and cabling your Q box would be useless. 
Sky Stream is the completely separate and totally different TV service which operates entirely using broadband. It doesn't need full fibre though, it can function with old school broadband too, as long as it is fast and stable enough.

Being charitable then that's possible - either by switching to a non-satellite service (e.g. stream) or if the fibre is FIRS (that carries the satellite signal but is rare such as OFNL https://www.ofnl.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/OFNL-FIRS-Leaflet.pdf).

Hi any other person who has got sky q what do you think of it

Sky Q was released in February 2016 and has been in use by millions of households in the near decade since then.

It's important to note that satellite television broadcasting is probably approaching the end of its life as a technology, and Q was followed by Glass & Stream from late 2021 onwards.
