Good-looking interface. As a TiVo user that's the kind of speed I can only dream of. The reasons I stuck with Virgin Media and didn't jump over to Sky were the extra tuners and the on-demand library. Looks like the world has changed.

Sky's on-demand has been better than Virginmedias for years.

In the last couple of years it has sadly..

Good Lord look how quick and smooth it is... makes Virgin TIVO look absolutely appalling and antiquated...

So why no demo of the really new bit; the extra tuners and streaming to tablets etc.? The flashy interface looks nice but in reality, cosmetic rather than innovative functionality.

Who cares what it looks like? They can navigate the menu without having to wait 40 odd seconds after pressing each button!!!!

1) you need to ring VM faults if you have to wait 40 seconds after pressing each button.

2) you missed my point. The innovation of Sky Q is the extra tuners and streaming to tablets etc. Why not show those parts rather than cosmetic changes that add little extra functionality.

Extra tuners what's to demo , it'll record 4 things while you watch a 5th.

The point still stands; the person who did the demo didn't include the innovative bit's.

Why not show streaming to tablet, and the range of channels that can be streamed to a tablet? Given the abysmal number of channels Tivo's MRS can stream, this is the sort of thing that will make Sky Q a truly significant bit of kit; if Sky have got loads of channels that can be sent to secondary devices.

Any brand new box will probably have an updated interface. It's the new functionality we need to see demoed.

As far as I'm aware all channels work on the Sky Q minis with the exception of third party add ons like BT Sport the only restrictions I've seen is on download to tablets which at launch won't work with every recording however Sky said they are working hard to tie the rest of the rights up. From launch remote record also won't be a available.

To be fair if it's 4K your after the streaming services currently have quite a lot available. Most of Netflix's originals this year will be available in 4K as will Amazon's.

Yeah,I bought a John Lewis/LG 4K tv a couple of days ago and the best 4K content is on You Tube. Not keen on the Netflix and Amazon content so when my months trial is up I won't be subscribing.
