For me V6 really isn't close to Q. There are some apps that load at the right side to give you news/sports/weather info currently, the menus are just slicker and look better IMO.

Yes, but you are speaking as a Sky subscriber, and therefore you have the service of your choice.
The Q has 4 tuners dedicated to recordings - the V6 has 6. That's the point I was making. The V6 doesn't need additional tuners for streaming as the Q does.
I'm not saying the V6 is better than the Sky Q, just that it is pretty well on the par. That's also what the link says. The fact that you prefer Q is fine, Stephen. But for me, the V6 meets my needs better. For me, the number of recordings I can do at any one time is more important than split screens, etc.
An agreed disadvantage of the V6 is that it's only 1TB compared with the Q's 2TB. However, I have overcome that by simply changing my V HD box for a V6, so I can record the number of programmes needed.
Of course, Sky has an advantage on content because of its exclusivity restrictions on other platforms. However, UHD was not available at launch on the Q either. It would be appropriate to give it a few months before commenting further on content.
