Sky Stream versus an Old Problem
04 Jun 2024 06:15 PM
This is probably opening up old wounds, but a few years ago when I signed up for Sky Glass, I had a problem with controlling the volume of my external amplifier using the single Glass remote. (all other functions were ok). I had to have two remotes to hand all the time - one for Sky and TV and the other for the AV Amp volume control This was one of the main reasons I cancelled my Glass contract and reverted to Sky Q. I guess things have moved on since then and I was wondering if this problem has now been overcome, ie the volume of any half decent external amplifier regardless of make can now be controlled with the Sky remote. At present my monthly Sky Q charges are going through the roof and consequently I’ve been looking at switching to Sky Stream to try and cut my outgoings. Due to differing family viewing preferences, cancelling some of the existing services to reduce costs is sadly not an option. My broadband speeds on FTTP are well above Sky’s minimum recommendations so no worries in that respect. I can live without some of the missing channels on Sky Stream but the two deal-breakers would be buffering and the volume problem I experienced originally.
Could anyone please advise if these two problems have now been overcome (wholely or largely), before I go down the Sky Stream road
Many thanks
