@Super+Anthony don't hold your breath... (Removed) it will be years before they do any update & then they won't make it generally known. 

By the time this update comes in, I'll hopefully be gone from Sky (Removed)

Re: Sky stream , honest review

just cancelled after coming from sky Q

stream needed direct connection to router otherwise it glitched

many sky cinema films advertised or suggested - I don't have sky cinema

every time I started it in the morning it would be on never mind the buzzcocks - I don't watch that

should be able to go to guide, apps, sports with a few clicks

pricing is just really annoying , new customers getting same packing £20 cheaper for a 24 month deal

seems the puck is really at it's limit and the interface needs to allow customisation to make it useful 

lost £150 million last year, will there be money for new developments

I  wish I never ordered sky stream now always freezing even though the broadband is 150 Meg it seems a step backwards in my opinion sky q miles better there must be a better alternative then a little box and no dish

Not once the broadcast satellites aren't there any more, which is likely to be the case before 2030.

I only got it to work with ethernet connected

moved to a competitor and have a box to record on, still get sky sports via now and save £50 a month

My puck works better on ethernet with WiFi turned off. I did a lot of testing on WiFi but it just didn't like it when anything else started using some bandwidth and slowed down the connection. On ethernet it's been rock solid with no glitches, even though the speed is capped at about 82Mbps due to the lack of gigabit ethernet port.

  • Have mine about a fortnight now and its such a simple hassle-free experience. Picture quality is really fantastic, zero buffering so far (I'm on 5G wifi) the UI I guess is a little convoluted but thats to be expected these days, my favourite feature is the voice command - just name the channel or tv-show and up it pops almost instantly. I really can't fault it and would highly reccommend it to anyone who is a casual tv viewer and doesn't want the hassle of a dish. And at €5.50 per week (Netflix included), you can't really complain!

Re: Sky stream , honest review

In on sky Q at the moment (£59pmwith sky sports )  conract up on Jan 10 and  not renewing it  as they want to increase it hideously, so I'm looking at sky stream as I've a  500 mbs connection , im reading  some horror stories about on trust pilot how bad it is , but is that maybe ppl with mediocre speeds , think ill try out 31day rolling which i know you have that option to get out in the first month  , but also in the forthcoming months ahead if it turns out to be rubbish .

@Freddy1000 although having decent broadband is important its the reliability of tge WiFi in your home or the ability to use Ethernet cables tomthe pucksthat is crucial. With either of those in mybrxperience Stream is as least as reliable as Sky Q.
