Honestly, nothing I have heard suggests it even comes close to the refreshed experience of Sky Q:
- Same, outdated, UI
- Yes, faster. It badly needs to be
- No mention of how "multi-room" is handled. No reference to a disc-less Mini Box.
- More tuners, but half that of Sky Q. It's not that we need to record more things at the same time, but to offer multi-room and to offer a next-gen UI. People have theorised a cloud-based DVR but I've heard nothing to suggest this is more than wishful thinking.
And that's without talking about the biggest issue for UHD - content. I guess I should avoid speculating, but I'll be surprised if they do deals for all of Sky's UHD sport and movies and don't have the original shows. They will have Netflix, I expect, but almost all with a UHD set have that via a TV app already.
Of course, we are both speculating, but I'm genuinely interested in what
you have heard that lead to your comment.
