[QUOTE="davemurgtroyd, post: 952108, member: 319227"] Lets sort some facts out here in one post New LNB (two wideband outputs - horizontal and vertical polarisations) required with no need to replace dish or cabling if at present good quality and in reasonable condition BUT wider downconverted frequency band used to receiver almost certainly rules out the use of diplexers to add DTT/Freeview signal to Sky cabling. New LNB also not compatable with other non Sky Q boxes. Two main receivers at present Sky Q Silver (4k capable and HDMI 2.0 capable although may need update to activate from 1.4) and Sky Q (NOT 4k capable only HD) both with 12 tuners. Sky Q Mini boxes not connected to dish but connected to main receiver via the best of 3 methods all concurrent - Mains Powerline, 2.4 and 5 GHz WiFi (built in to all Sky Q boxes). At present multiroom limited to Sky Q plus 2 Sky Q Minis. Ability to view on tablets and smartphones - demo videos show both iOs and Android devices being used. (presumably on 2.4 GHz WiFi only) Remote is bluetooth so ending the ability to control IR remote controlled devices? UHD broadcasts will start early 2016 No prices and availability dates yet for boxes or services The name Sky Q Silver leads me to believe that there will be a Sky Q Gold with enhanced facilities - speculation on what that will be please?
