want to purchase my sky q main box and mini box to watch normal TV

[Bud3]

I did ask about sky essentials but just got told I can buy the box. I have a sky contract until January 2025 with multi room. Looking at my options as gonna get rid of multi room and tv subscription in Jan. Just doesnt deem worth it these days as you can stream everything and use catch up services. Still think sky has the best hardware and epg however and the wife likes recording stuff.  Looked into a freesat box but they seem to be unreliable. ill ask again about purchasing sky q box in december when i give notice and see what they say. Anyone got sky stream? Would you reccommend it?

Had to log in to my sky account to get on the chat. It is not easy to find and not always available. I do however use it every year to renew my subscription and get best deal so defo legit. As you and others have said could be an agent who not trained properly and given me incorrect advice. Was just posting what I was advised.

I have my old SKY + H.D. since March 2012. Owing to illness I do not want to change. When will SKY end older SKY + H.D. boxes like mine that are now way over 10 years old?

@theredhouse55555  there is no official date set

but given the orbiting satellites will be end of life around the end of the decade it is likely to be around that time 

do be aware sky +hd are no longer sold or manufactured and your current boxes cannot be replaced if they were to break
