@jomouse68  Yes you can move to Stream, but make sure it's suited to your needs, if you have SkyQ you would need to call Sky to get stream, they can also discuss costs etc.

Like you I'm a customer here, Sky Employees are clearly identified as such.

Short answer - Yes. 

A Sky Stream puck is all that's needed. You connect it to your existing TV via HDMI cable and it receives channels via WiFi or ethernet. 

Cost varies, depending on what you want to watch and in which resolution. All the details are on the Sky website but you'll need to call Sky to order if you're an existing Sky Q customer. 

Be careful of additional charges for UHD, ad skipping and Premium tiers of Netflix. Costs can quickly mount up.

If you're at the end of a current contract then Sky will often give you a new deal to stay so you can always negotiate. 

Make sure that Sky Stream will do what you want it to - it's very different to Sky Q. You cannot record in the same sense and you must have fast and stable broadband for it to function at all.

@jomouse68Yes I have just done it, however Sky were not very happy to do the change. They did eventually with exactly the same as I had with Q I saved about £20.

After looking at the order I found they had only transferred the basic Netflix an not the Premium one they had confirmed. They promised they would phone Monday to sort it out, I wait to see.
