You may only be getting 1080p because Sky are phasing out SkyQ and are wanting everyone to stream

Just grabbed a 2010 no issues, long history of service, 2024 and it looks amazing break necks drives smooth, just make sure you check the chain for chain replacement and a good history of service and you’ll be fine, best thing to do is to listen for the chain issues as you are unable to see them, cheers! thanks for the vid, enjoying mine!

I get my sky glass next week do I need a puck and if so will I get it with the TV ????

I got a sky stream today. It's fantastic even better than BT box also am also getting a 2rd box for my bedroom

What a great review of this app. I’ve been with Apple TV from the beginning and love the fact I now have the ability to have a TV guide that brings all the info together.

BBC gives y National and regional radio, the Website, Kids TV, Educational channels Channel 1234 and World service, BBC news and more, it’s not just one channel.

My open reach box in a cupboard in the kitchen is that where the router would be?

I have stuff from years back that I watch from BBC4 how would that work?

Does that mean, if I can’t record and hold a programme for as long as I want, streaming will only let me watch something on catch up as long as it’s still available? What happens if say, what the wife watches, married at first sight, not available. So everything has to be available on catchup. Match of the day is only available for a short period, channel 4 F1 is time restricted. Also most catch up services are terrible for fast forward and rewind? This sounds like a step back only favouring the supplier.

Looks very good sky Q but it will not long when they come up with sum thing better

Great video, very well described in plain English, and covered all the basics...got my subscription

I'm looking to move from virgin as they are charging me £140 a month which isn't multi room or HD. Does have sport but not movies. So £40 for sky stream (£60 with sports) is a massive saving

Hey Steve. On Sky Stream, how does BBC, ITVX, 4 and my5 work? Are they incorporated into Sky stream (just like Sky Q)? Or separate? I'm mainly concerned about subtitles because it seems that itvx, 4 and my5 subtitles don't work on live tv on my LG c2 4k tv. Cheers Buddy (in advance)

I decided to give Sky Stream a try but unfortunately the picture kept freezing and there was buffering. When contacting Sky to cancel they told me that I shouldn’t have been sold this in the first place as I couldn’t get the speed in my area. Back to Virgin Media then with a deal that included a free tv or £200 bill credit

l got sky go on ps4

What’s the picture quality of music channels? On Sky Q they are TERRIBLE

Do people on Sky Stream not realise that there are missing channels and not miss them, some have gone online only so it's the other way around, Ginx Esports, TalkTV, NBC News Now. However by simply having a satellite dish you will get Talking Pictures, That's TV, Now 80s, Clubland, Rewind TV and quite a few other examples of good free to air TV that Sky Stream so far does not have, so why not have a non Sky satellite receiver along with Sky Stream at least. I also like having +1 channels, why can't they stream them online too.

Cheers for the review, I only got the sky stream due to a two year offer of 33 pound a month for tv and sports

Having ended contract and returned sky Q back 10 days later I was ‘enticed ‘back, received streaming puck but handset would not work with my Samsung, 3 handsets and 2 pucks later still not working, enquired about getting sky Q box but sky wanted another 5 quid, I will be terminating contract soon, very poor service.

Just ordered Sky Stream and they have activated everything on Sky Go whilst I wait for it to be delivered. Tried to get me to buy a mini hub for another tv in the house, declined, but I remembered that the Sky Go app is on the Apple TV box so I’ve set it up on that and I can now watch everything on another tv without the extra cost. Does anyone know why BBC 1 and 2 is not on Sky Go?

Having to go back to sky q internet kep5 dropping out

PLEASE HELP!! I watch your videos regarding sky stream, now tv, Apple TV, they are great content thank you for this. I was looking to see if sky sports + will be coming to now tv, i looked to contact now tv to ask this as i can’t find anything on the internet, i can’t even get through to no one the chat is a bot, there’s no phone numbers or email. Are you able to help at all

Hey, It's only 1080p most prabably becouse the Channels are only up to 1080p (not some with 4k) and so the device highest resolution also. And that's actually a feature then so that the TV is doing the upscaling for the 4K Display (trough its upscaling procesor) and better than the device could do.🙂😮 And the other one (i gues the streamer) becouse also has other Apps, with 4k contents, has also 4K Resolution wich its then needed for that Streaming contents.

😍😍😍 TV Launcher is so OP, too bad I dont have Apple products ahah! I hope for something similar on Fire TV

Thank you Steve for this video. I am coming to the end of my VM contract and have recently had to upgrade from Tivo box to V360 (which is pants IMO). The Sky Stream sounds very easy to navigate , and my wife and I are in our late 70s so any new tech is not the easiest to absorb. We are both conversant with fireTVsticks etc so I think this would be just fine for us.

Now TV doesn't have ad skipping

maybe the hdmi cable. it isnt 2.1 compatible. so is forced to 1080p

Excellent review. TV Launcher is exactly what I've been looking for, as the Apple TV does not natively have a way of aggregating all live content from various apps into one channel guide. This is perfect, thank you for posting this!

I have had the full bells and whistles Sky q 2 terabyte box with multi room for a few years now and I seriously can't fault it . But my viewing habits have changed a lot recently so I feel I'm paying for a lot of gear that i don't use as much .

Is there an app you can open and watch all the live TV channels like BBC itv etc instead of opening individual catch up apps

If I switch to Sky Stream, do I need to send the Sky Q back?

Can you fast forward through programs in your saved list. Can you save live feeds/programs?

I'm in the process of getting rid of EE TV. They are the worst company imaginable and utterly useless. I'm going to Sky Q. After the trouble I've had with EE streaming TV, I want the reliability of a dish. Also, having to go through iPlayer to watch BBC and ITVX to watch ITV is a right pain. No chance of me choosing Sky Stream

Just gone to Sky Stream and lost 8 hours of my life trying to sort out TNT Sports. Because I get TNT Sports through BT Broadband I have previously managed to view it on Sky due to having a viewing card. Now, because Stream doesn’t have a viewing card number BT cannot authorise the viewing on Sky, the only way to get TNT is with their package, more expensive than BT, JUST TO BARE IN MIND!

Why don't companies from other countries use a similar system?

Sky Q Internet has the same size of sky stream. Quality is the same 4K. It’s literally the same product! The only difference is that sky stream has a redesigned graphic, yes is more simple and cool but… i don’t think that I’ll change from sky Q internet to Sky stream. What do you recommend me? Thanks

Sky Q is the better product because of recording, but then again… Stream does offer cloud recordings on Sky channels, and on TNT Sports. HD is the default compared to Q, so definitely Sky Stream. Every month it’s just getting better and better

Sky Stream is like a lite version of Sky Q. Reduced functionality for the same price

I was curious about this to replace my sky q and 3 mini boxes around the house. But there's no recording function so absolutely useless 😂😂😂 Oh dear Sky. You keep trying something new and getting it wrong. Sky Glass = bang average LCD TV. Sky Stream = no recording function. What on earth is wrong with them these days 😂 Also, far more likely to have a broadband problem at home than a dish problem.

I go with Sky Q

can you watch youtube with this? has it got youtube app ...

Tried to go from sky q to stream but refuse to give out card details over the phone so cant switch also impossible to do online they tried to hard sell me sky glass which i dont want

Sky and streaming sucks!! 🗑️ Free linear tv and physical media for the win! 👍

FF on Stream looked a bit naff on that video.Also ITVX seems a bit convoluted too.Q every time for me.

Just ordered Sky Stream, switch from Sky Q, during the summer we have signal problems with sky q happens every year, dish has been moved 6 times by sky over the years so not sure where else they could put the dish now, so feel stream will be better, not too bothered about not being able to record things and have virgin 1gig broadband so connection shouldn't be a problem, wouldn't have considered it if i didn't have virgin as the normal fibre is about 20mbps in my area.

It sucks compared to the original 2005-2013 sky hd and ky hd + services

I still have my sky HD box and I’m keeping it & here’s why. Say the football game kicks off at 7:45pm…I set record for it, I watch say ITV Corrie and at commercial break put on the kettle and fill the T-pot, come back & sit down to watch the second half of Corrie, when that’s finished I pour my strong brew come back and sit down & start my footy recording from the whistle, then when the ref blows for half time I go live to the channel just as second half is about to blow. No Ads & from one prog straight to another when I choose. I do this with most TV programming as I also have BT box, Google Chrome, Amazon 4K stick, Roku & many many apps on my 5 TV’s whilst gaming too. Best of all NO ADVERTS.

I like the look of freely but not prepared to fork out for a new tv so I am going to let freely develope into a fully fledged system .but I enquired With sky About cancelling sky stream yesterday in a nice polite manner as always , screaming and balling at them is for Neanderthals not me .. anyways that besides the point I was paying 43.00 pound a month and I knew that there was some good offers on and this was the last time I was calling them , I had called them a few weeks back and all he could offer me was 3 pound off and a 18 month contract ….. anyways offered me 18 pound a month with Netflix with adds ….23 pound a month the fast forward thingy option for two years and if the prices rise I can leave drama free so that’s 43.00 a month down to 23.00 with Netflix adds or if you really really like adverts it’s 18 pound a month …..
