The equivalent to Multiroom in Sky Q is Q Mini boxes over WiFi with a Multiscreen subscription.

 

In Glass it's Stream pucks with a Whole Home subscription.

 

There's also Stream by itself (no Sky-branded television set)

 

Note that Glass/Stream is not an 'upgrade' to Sky+ : it's a very different system.

 

The 'upgrade' from Sky+ is Sky Q, although note Q does not have Reminders or Slow Motion.

If I was simply to remain with the single TV, and baring in mind that my sky + box is VERY old now, whats better to go for, Sky Q or change sytem to Glass?

I'd suggest Sky Q, but be very clear with Sky that you want no increase in monthly cost and no up-front installation fee, otherwise they'll sneak in a Q Mini and charge you for it.

Great, thanks for your help

 

That sounds like it needs to be done over the phone or is there an email or online chat that works?

If your Sky+ box is not an HD model, I'd suggest this route:

and beware of the inevitable upselling ; )
