Reduced recording capacity may not be an issue for all but certainly for some.
The mini box needing a coax connection is for me a terrible decision. Yes there may be technical reasons behind it and yes there may be a future software upgrade that makes it work through Wifi, who knows. But at the moment it works through coax which is fine when you're replacing existing boxes but new customers potentially moving from Sky Q would find it a pain, especially as second boxes are normally in a bedroom. Those cables can be diffcult to hide.
I'm sure the new UI is a hell of a lot more modern looking but I think I'll stick to the trusty V6's for now.

The thing I find strange about it all is it still needs a coax connection for the mini box, seems totally pointless having one when you can just keep the second V6 box which also has it's own storage. I've got to say, in my opinion, this has to be the worst offer ever.
