blueone Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 2 hours ago, RiG said: I like the new remote myself. Is there a way to select how far you start in a recording? For example, the live NFL recordings often have about an hour of bollocks before the game starts and so far all I have done is sit and leave it on 30x FF to get to the start. The old Sky boxes let you define the start point for watching the recording but I've not found that with Sky Q yet. Yes, if you do the FF first then hold the right bit of the circle just below the FF you can zoom forward to any point you want. You can release it at any point and it gives you a still frame so you can see exactly where you're at. You can go back the way as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ro Sham Bo Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 My sound box has now been dispatched according to Sky so I now await confirmation of delivery from a courier. Hopefully should be here within a few days. The sound box arrived yesterday and is now set up. I'm pretty impressed and for £249 I would recommend it to any Sky Q customers who don't have a decent sound system already. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ro Sham Bo Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 What about those who do already have a decent sound system? [emoji38] Use it with a second TV!I was using a Sony 5.1 home cinema system that is now several years old to be fair but on first listen this is definitely an upgrade on that so no complaints from me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also have an oldish surround system but Im quite happy with it. Im tempted by the sound bar but I think I'll probably go for a new TV first 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are some technical differences, that allow the multiple channel recording and wifi streaming to mini boxes, but I doubt you'll be interested in that Seems I got a fairly normal remote as opposed to the touch one. Do I need Sky multiscreen to be able to watch stuff I've recorded on my box through the app on my phone/tablet? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont really know to be honest, have you tried? As far as I know, the app will just connect to the main box 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I know, the app will just connect to the main box When I try to access the recordings part of my phone it says I need Sky Q Multiscreen. Likewise if I go into settings on the box there is a cross beside "watch via Sky Q app" and I don't seem to be able to activate it. The box and my phone seem to recognise each other as I can use the phone to set downloads for the box. Going by this you need a multiscreen subscription https://www.sky.com/help/articles/using-the-sky-q-app 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you're getting it as part of the £12 a month or whatever it's cost to upgrade to Sky Q, whereas because I'm a new customer and am getting it at no extra cost I have to pay more to get that option. Seems fair enough. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Connolly Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 Just had a call from Sky with the great offer of Sky Q at only £12 a month extra. The girl actually seemed surprised when I suggested I didn't need it, and it was expensive enough already 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 My parents have had Sky for years and are on the highest level of the loyalty programme. The only offer for them is free installation for Sky Q (and fibre) but I think they'd still have to pay the extra £12 or whatever a month. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
