Just had an offer to upgrade from HD to Q for free (ie without the £199 ‘set up fee’). Thing is, I’m quite happy with HD and comfy with how it works, so wanted to ask what the significant benefits are that I would see if I upgraded?
I’m guessing the negatives would be a higher monthly subscription payment, and as we don’t have or need multi-room, I’m not sure there’ll be much point doing it - but glad to be persuaded otherwise if anyone else finds Q a real benefit... ta.

Wouldnt pay to upgrade but worth it if its free. Can record 7 programmes at once, can watch your recordings on both boxes, can watch your recordings on the iPad etc.Just had an offer to upgrade from HD to Q for free (ie without the £199 ‘set up fee’).

The biggest downside is there is no reminder function,if you want to watch something live like football you have to record it or set a reminder on your phone so you don t miss it , really poor that isJust had an offer to upgrade from HD to Q for free (ie without the £199 ‘set up fee’).

It's certainly not as user friendly as the old sky box. I've had it over 3 months now and still struggling to find my way round it.
Also the remote is way too over sensitive. If you sneeze it changes the channel.

The home screen is too busy for me, it is bad enough on netflix,i know what you mean about the remote,you can push the green microphone button above record, hold it down and just say what you want and it goes to it, like man city or coronation street etc, that is handyIt's certainly not as user friendly as the old sky box.

They were short sighted with taking out the reminder - I used to use it a lot.
I don’t like the operating system on Sky Q - the fact that you press record once and you’ve set it on series link. I also have a habit of pressing the back up button and returning to the TV.
The voice recognition doesn’t understand Mancunian
The storage is Good and there’s a disk management feature where you can show your wife how much shit she’s been recording.

I've got an engineer for Sky Q coming around this week. I'm just hoping there's not too much disruption when installing it.
