    Is there any additional drilling for updating to Sky Q box?

      @skyhelp1  3 года назад +7

      Generally speaking, no, in most cases, the existing cables will be used.

    • @skyhelp1
      @skyhelp1  10 дней назад

      Hi there 👋 the satellite cables are usually plugged into the back of your Sky Q box and have circle connections at the back which screw into the TV box.

    the setup is simple, i already have sky hd with the twin cable, so why am i being forced to have an engineer visit to set the sky q box up, its all wired the same way

    • @skyhelp1
      @skyhelp1  3 года назад +2

      You are right, the cables are the same however they’ll need to install a wideband LNB on your satellite dish.

  • @leegamer2877

    the box is much better but the Sky Q UI is a step backward what were sky thinking, seems to me its designed to increase advert viewing. A linear search wheel over a grid? Obviously slower, tv guide has also lost 25% viewing area with 50% screen for the actual shows... our engineer warned us its impossible to delete recordings too once they build up as there is no delete all or delete viewed, delete series option anymore. If sky update the UI in the future we will be more happy its horrible compared to the old Sky HD User Interface..

      Hi Lee, we’re sorry that you’re finding the UI less enjoyable, we will pass your feedback onto the team. As for problems with recordings, try this link: sky.com/help/articles/fix-recording-problems-on-sky-q?irct=twh-help-frp-sq-yt

    Do you need a new sky disc to have sky Q

    • @skyhelp1
      @skyhelp1  3 года назад +2

      No, assuming that everything is working as it should, you don’t need a new satellite dish or cables. However, access to your dish is needed so we can update your LNB (a piece of equipment on the arm of your dish).

  • @HektorBandimar
    @HektorBandimar 2 года назад +1

    I have a Sky HD+ box can I upgrade to a Sky Q 2TB box and just plug it in, or do I need a new LNB fitted? I have twin LNB cables already.

    • @skyhelp1
      @skyhelp1  2 года назад

      A new wideband LNB will need to be installed on your dish, the existing cables can/will be used.

    Does it work with the internet only? Say the satellite cable doesn’t reach the room where I am. Can I operate it with the internet only?

    • @skyhelp1
      @skyhelp1  2 года назад +1

      No, but only your main Sky Q box will need to be connected to a satellite dish. We’ll need to send someone to your home and update some equipment on your dish, they can also re-cable if required. Alternatively, Sky Glass is our new service which doesn’t require a satellite dish. ruclips.net/video/GpGskL5PCKU/видео.html

    Hello, I’d like to ask something, why when my Sky is turned on in the middle of the night does my sky box randomly go on the blue screen and say, “When the screen goes blank, press home to get started.?

    • @skyhelp1

      That could be related to a software update or your box going into sleep mode (around 2:45 am). This link will help you change your standby settings www.sky.com/help/articles/using-the-standby-settings

      Hi there, thank you for your post. With Sky Glass and Sky Stream, you don't need a satellite dish for these however a satellite dish is needed if you have Sky Q.

    Does both the sky q box and mini box act as WiFi boosters?

    • @skyhelp1
      @skyhelp1  3 года назад +2

      Yes, when you combine Sky Q with Sky Broadband each box creates a complete WiFi mesh around your home. Check out this What Hi-Fi? review for more information.
