Thank you for your advice.  I spoke with an advisor, and I cancelled Sky Q installation, and can continue with Sky+HD.  Not sure if what the advisor said about boxes not working from August is correct as I haven't heard that before today.  Does anyone on here know for sure?  Thanks.

Putting it kindly, it seems to be a bit of a misconception amongst some advisers. Sky+HD boxes will continue to work normally for the foreseeable future. It's the non-HD Sky+ boxes that will be unable to receive Sky channels from August. That's because the Sky SD channels are moving to  DVB-S2 transponders which those boxes can't receive Sky+HD boxes can, however.
