Sky Q upgrade

[I-a-n-W]

I've received a letter saying I should upgrade to Sky Q. It mentions one of the benefits is that I can store up to 370 hours of recordings in HD, similar to my HD box. Does that mean it will have 2TB of storage? I ask as it seems that would not be the usual box to get but a 1TB version wouldn't store that much

The default main Q box since late 2019 has been the 1TB UHD/HDR model.

Most 2TB units are from between early 2016 and then, and would be refurbished if re-issued now.

v1 2TB boxes cannot output HDR.

The boxes aren't designed for long term storage - it's primarily for time shifting...

But why would the letter i received say 370 hours of HD recordings if that was the case

hi @I-a-n-W 

As always be aware of Marketing who always tend to represent best case scenarios and don't always list the fine technical detail

Storage wise Q is no better than SKY HD & even worse if you have multiscreen as only the SKY Q main box stores recordings 

You may, also, wish to read some notes I have made for people considering switching from SKY +/HD to SKY Q

SKY +/HD to SKY Q

I suspect someone is somewhat incautiously plucking figures from earlier Sky history.

If it says up to 370 hours then it's meaningless.
