SkyQ costs

Why are there no good deals for Sky Q?

Why do the Sky stores on the high street not offer Sky Q?

I assume from the above Sky are not offering good deals to force Customers onto Sky Stream or Sky Glass.

Q is a decade old and has a few years remaining before the satellites broadcasting to it reach end-of-life with the expenditure of their positioning propellant.  It's also a product which pre-dates the acquisition of Sky Group by the Comcast Corporation*, and naturally they prefer to promote what's effectively 'their' online-only platform.

@Scott+MacG  encourage rather than force but it is fairly clear that SKY's future is Streaming and not Satellite which only has a few years left before the Satellites run out of fuel.

 

Also don't forget that SKY Q support requires Engineers (albeit less of them now on the workforce) which are an overhead
