Hello everyone, my Father has received a letter from Sky informing him that they are offering him a free Sky Q box due to no further software upgrades will take place for his Sky+ box.
i have read through some of the discussions of other customers who have received the same letter and have read on here that if it's a Sky+ HD box then the box will not cease to function in the way of being able to watch all the channels he has at the moment (he normally watches Sky Sport channels), recording programmes, rewind etc etc., but there will only be minor changes such as he won't be able to watch the BBC Text Service or use the 'red button' function.
How will I know if my Father has the Sky+ (SD) or the Sky+ HD box being I have read that there's less chance of losing as many functions with the HD model?
The thing is my Father is elderly and I'm very sad to say, very very sick so I do not want to cause him any extra stress by having to change his Sky box unneccessarily. If he can continue to use his existing Sky+ box just to watch his tv channels (inc. Sport channel) then there will be no need to go down the road of organising a Sky Technican to install a Sky Q box.
I will be grateful for your advice, thank you.
