Just been launched if anyone is interested
Here’s a list of boxes which do and don’t support it…
Sky Q 2TB boxes:
32B1xx (yes)
32B205 (yes)
32B206 (yes)
32B0xx (no)
Sky Q 1TB UHD boxes:
32B203 (yes)
32B204 (yes)
32B205 (yes)
32B206 (yes )
Tested it out and the picture is amazing
Isn’t this more or less what Now TV is? Granted, when using Now TV, you don’t get all of the features you might find on the Sky boxes, but you do get the Sky channels and box sets of shows aired on the Sky channels.
Its a bit pathetic sky have taken this long and its STILL no on the channels and only on demand stuff.
No channels, just a few on demand documentaries.
There’s no dedicated uhd channels either just for films and sporting events on demand
NowTV is such a poor effort. A few of my pet peeves:
They’ve only just upgraded to HD50/fps but only on some devices and only if you pay extra. 4k / HDR is probably 10 years off at their pace!
You have to pick the devices you want to watch on (6 at the moment) and you can’t watch on any others. A pain in a house with 4 people with a TV/Tablet/Phone each and taking the service with you to parents for Christmas.
Streams in the browser need Silverlight which was deprecated in 2012 which means I can’t really watch on my Chromebook (the Android app is a bit flakey on Chrome OS).
No profiles so everybody in the house shares the same recently watched/watchlists/next episodes.
You can tell it’s a none streaming company trying badly to keep relevant. It pales in comparison with Netflix/Amazon/BT/Disney+
Yeah I have been waiting for sky iptv but went for standard sky q in the end
I’m sure if they do launch streaming it will be popular. Think they have it in Austria already
The only thing I’m guessing is holding it back is the fact we have now tv in the UK
