[QUOTE="ozumo, post: 1164612, member: 415308"] I'm not a Sky Q user so this is only from what I've read and may not be wholly accurate. Sky will insist it is installed by one of their 'engineers'. The mini box will work over WiFi, I believe it connects to the main receiver via their own 5GHz network, generally they work well. You'll have to ask for a 2TB box when ordering to ensure you get one and may incur an extra cost. Manual recording is not available. You can use an HDCP-compatible HDMI capture device to record onto a computer, picture quality can be variable and will use a lot of disk space. On cheaper capture cards everything will be butchered into 30fps. I believe you can add other channels, don't know how they work on the mini box though. Avoid Stream, it's awful. BTW I think you can access Sky Sports+ on the Sky Sports app if you have the full Sports package on Sky HD. [/QUOTE]
