Re: When sky Q over internet begins, will you consider moving from VM?
The only time I would consider making a change would be when other providers can match Virgins BB speeds in my area.

You might have to wait a while for that.

I wonder if you'd be able to have Sky Q internet using VM broadband?? Not sure if Sky could insist that you used their BB or if VM could prevent you using theirs for Sky Q.
How would you feel if this was a hypothetical option?

That thought came to me a while ago too, Richard, it would put an end to there not being enough broadband to cover what Sky would need to run it.

Sky wouldn't be able to assure quality of service over Virgins network.

What’s the problem with having VM broadband with Sky Q?

Re: When sky Q over internet begins, will you consider moving from VM?
I’ve had issues with Sky Q and still have Dolby Digital 5.1 drop out issues with the V6 box, not the old VHD though.
Don’t have the same or any issues with Freeview/Youview.
So, i would consider BT, if it was as stable as Youview, which it partly is anyway. Shame they didn’t win the England Test Cricket contract though. I would go for it now.
Sky no dish is still interesting if it is the same spec as Sky Q, 4K etc and has a more stable box.
Virgin Broadband seemed to work fine with Sky Q. It would be more expensive to have both together though.

When Sky Q was first introduced you had to have Sky broadband, but that is no longer the case.
If you don't use Sky broadband, however, any Sky Q miniboxes won't function as Wi-Fi hotspots.

But that's for the current satellite box , the broadband is only used for On Demand.
Nobody knows what will happen with the internet version of Q.

That's right, and will you still need a Sky Q box? The whole service could be provided through the internet with recordings to the cloud.

Re: When sky Q over internet begins, will you consider moving from VM?
I would say recordings would be kept on the box to save on server space and net congestion, as that would be massive.
Uploads speeds are not quick enough.

I think you will find that recordings to the cloud rather than hard drives will be the norm in the future.
