    Yes they are Dave, I've just moved over from Virgin Media V6 box and the Sky Q box is much better. Very quick menus and a really good layout.

            Got the full package, been with them for many years now. They through in free HD for sports as I threatened to migrate elsewhere. Don't have Internet with them as its piss poor. Overall though, can't fault it. Picture quality is excellent and 4k HD is brilliant when watching films and football.

                  I've the full package too.
                  cant fault it. also have it in our 3 bedrooms.

                  if you record anything from any of the boxes, it can be viewed in any of the other boxes....so if you record the football downstairs, you can watch it in the room.

                  also the boxes are run off the wifi, so no cables running up and down from the dish.

                  and you can record up to 8 different programs at the same time.
                  my main box is a 2 terabyte box, so plenty of storage too.....and the new controls for the main unit are voice activated, so you just press the button on the side, say the name and it searches for it.

                      I have had sky Q for ages and we have a 65" curve 4k telly and the picture quality is really good but really would love a new 4k OLED tv for xmas, we have sky q minni boxes in the bedrooms which are really good but can be a pain if internet drops out as you have to reset them all .

                            Don’t forget you can download stuff from the boxes to watch via the Sky q app on a phone or tablet as well if you are going somewhere or just stream if on Wi-fi in the house.

                            We’ve got one mini box and I just move it between the front room and upstairs as required. Doddle to do plus they act as Wi-fi extenders which is handy for a couple of black spots we use to have in the house.

                              Hi all.

                              I've had sky q since it launched over a year and a half ago and paid good money for it.

                              I originally got a 2tb box along with a mini sky box to put in another room which ran on internet. We never did use it ha.

                              The bill was like 80 quid a month for what was a glorified baby TV box (the little one wanted nothing else).

                              We got on the phone and haggled them down to 46 quid but this meant that I wouldn't be able to keep the little mini box. No loss I thought.

                              Well turns out you don't get 4k TV without this mini box. You are required to have the multi room package to allow for the 4k. I've argued this to the end of the world and got no where. I've yet to see a single 4k broadcast on the box.

                              Apart from that it's miles ahead of the old hd boxes. Just make sure you have a decent internet connection for downloading catch up etc.
