As expected Sky has today announced that consumers can finally buy their new Sky Q TV<\/em> service. On top of that all existing Sky Broadband<\/a> customers or those who buy broadband with Sky Q have been told that they will also receive the new Sky Q Hub<\/em> (router), which also turns other Sky Q boxes into WiFi<\/a> signal boosters.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

According to today’s announcement, Sky Q<\/strong> installations will be phased with Sky Broadband<\/a> customers receiving the product first, before “very soon opening up to those with other broadband providers<\/em>“. However some features, such as the Sky Q Hub’<\/strong>s WiFi<\/a> boosting (see below) via other Sky Q devices, may not work when using a non-Sky ISP.<\/p>\n

Sky’s Statement on the Sky Q Hub<\/strong><\/p>\n

All customers who already have Sky Broadband<\/a> or who purchase Sky Broadband when buying Sky Q will also receive the brand new Sky Q Hub that turns Sky Q boxes into Wi-Fi hotspots, giving a supercharged Sky Broadband experience with the strongest and best coverage throughout the home. Sky Q installations will be phased with Sky Broadband customers receiving the product first, before very soon opening up to those with other broadband providers.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Sky’s wording isn’t clear and could be read in one of two ways. However our understanding is that the Sky Q Hub will be included for new\/existing Sky Broadband customers (there’s no mention of a charge), albeit only when you take it with Sky Q. Meanwhile those with Sky Broadband, but who don’t wish to take Sky Q, will most likely be charged for the new Hub. We are checking and will report back shortly.<\/p>\n

Otherwise Sky Q<\/strong> represents a new premium TV focused line of services and products, which among other things will bring in new 4K (Ultra HD TV) supporting kit, a better broadband router (Sky Q Hub<\/strong>) and the ability to wireless stream \/ share content around the home to watch on other TVs.<\/p>\n

Sky Q Family of Products<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7 Sky Q Silver and Sky Q<\/strong> \u2013 Two new super-slim, powerful boxes for the main TV set, featuring up to 12 tuners and up to 2TB of storage.<\/p>\n

\u00b7 Sky Q Mini<\/strong> \u2013 A new plug and play box giving wireless access to Sky Q in other rooms in the home without running cables from the dish.<\/p>\n

\u00b7 Sky Q Hub<\/strong> \u2013 The all new Hub \/ router has built in Powerline networking technology, so it can use in-home electrical wiring as well as Wi-Fi to communicate with Sky Q boxes, automatically giving the best connection available. The Sky Q Hub also turns Sky Q boxes into Wi-Fi hotspots which means Sky Broadband customers get a stronger signal and better coverage throughout the home<\/p>\n

\u00b7 Sky Q App<\/strong> \u2013 A brand new app for your tablets that lets you enjoy all of the Sky Q experience at home, and take recordings with you and watch live and on demand content on the go<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The set-up costs for Sky Q start at just \u00a399 when taken with another service (e.g. Broadband and\/or Sky Sports and\/or Sky Movies) or from \u00a3249 without and the typical monthly cost for existing Sky+ customers will be around \u00a312 extra compared with their current Sky+ package. For new customers joining Sky, the ongoing monthly cost for Sky Q will start from \u00a342 (see last month’s news for more detail<\/a>).<\/p>\n

However our focus is naturally on that new Sky Q Hub<\/strong>, which represents a significant step-up from the somewhat outdated and low spec Sky Hub<\/strong> (SR101\/102) routers that existing subscribers have had to endure and some are still stuck on even older kit. By comparison the new router adds 5GHz WiFi<\/a>, a couple of 1000Mbps LAN\/Ethernet ports, limited Powerline AV1.1 support (only designed to work with Sky Q kit) and the latest 802.11ac wireless standard.<\/p>\n

The challenge for Sky will now be in ensuring that their customers are willing to pay for all this extra stuff, which could be a tough sell given that many consumers already perceive their TV packages to be quite expensive. Price is also one of the key reasons why consumers have been adopting services like Netflix and Sky itself has even had to launch a broadband-based equivalent called NOW TV<\/a>, which is incidentally quite good.<\/p>\n

The first Sky Q customers will be installed at the end of this month and will get a “full professional installation<\/em>” as part of the set-up cost. You’ll also be able to purchase the new service through one of Sky\u2019s 250 retail outlets up and down the UK from Friday 12th February.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
