I've Seen the Future of TV, and it's Sky QSimply put, you can kick off an episode of Dinner Date on your TV in your living room, continue through the app on your tablet in the kitchen, pick things up again on the bog with your trusty smartphone (just give it a wipe down after), and then finish up (if the action’s still on-going) on the Tube or bus.
For new and upgrading customers, the top of the range, 4K-ready Sky Q Silver box starts at £54 per month and includes one Sky Q Mini for multiroom viewing... The regular Sky Q box, with its smaller hard drive, fewer tuners and no Ultra HD or multiroom support, will start at £42 per month.Those are the monthly costs, but there are a fair few set-up charges, too. Though you have to pay for the Sky Q hardware, you're technically leasing it and must return everything to Sky at the end of your subscription.
