[QUOTE="mike2084, post: 1164608, member: 197385"] Hi folks, Just looking into the possibility of upgrading my Sky system, which I've been very happy with for a number of years now. Currently I'm using a Sky+ HD as the main box and a SkyHD multiroom box in a second room. I'm investigating switching to Sky Q because of the launch of Sky Sports +. Few things I'd like to find out if anyone has any experience of them: Can a local independent installer install Sky Q or does it have to be a Sky engineer? I understand the second box is a mini box connected via broadband (of which I have full fibre), can the connection be over Wi-Fi or does it have to be wired Ethernet? Does the mini box work well off a Wi-Fi connection? Is the 2TB box easily available? I use manual recording now and then to record parts of programmes so would want the largest storage space if I have to record full programmes only on Sky Q. Has anyone worked out a way to record from a Sky Q to an external recorder? How does Other Channels work on Sky Q? Can you watch them on the mini box? I'm sure some people would advise me to get Sky Stream but I want to hold onto satellite reception as long as I can. Thanks for any advice you can provide. [/QUOTE]
