No discernible difference to what I watched on my previous +HD box.
Is that over Wifi?
I assume UHD is the Silver box only?
Yes, over wifi and yes, UHD on the Silver box only.
I suspsect once you expand further you might start hitting the capacity of your wifi. I imagine Sky will be ready to "lend" you a broadband Super Router when that time comes 
I've had a change of heart, I just cant stomach the fee at the moment. Ill spend it on long drill bits and plasterboard repair supplies.

Firmware being updated for non Sky broadband users:
Non Sky broadband installations starting this week so if anyone is getting theirs this week let us know how it went?

Looking at Sky Q Silver with Sports & Movies as a new customer.
Would I be right in assuming, as a new top-end product, there are no deals for new customers yet and you have to pay sticker price?
If so then I'll likely hang on 'til later in the year for the offers to start appearing after they've got all the early adopters.

How did you get that waived, been with them over 10 years and also had sky protect which was supposed to cover installs
Apparently it doesn't cover sky Q
Who in their right mind has Sky Broadband?
Me because it is only good one in my area.
Me. Because I get it cheap.
I will say though, when I had to pay for it I also had Sky Broadband.
Call them and get the discount refunded.

Think I'm going to wait a bit.
I'm basically looking at getting the best of both worlds, i.e. Sky Q Silver with all Sports/Movies and retaining VM for broadband & phone line but the total cost is horrendous (circa £130 per month) so I'm going to wait and hope they start doing some decent new customer offers on Q later in the summer.

Just had Sky Q silver fitted, on Virgin media broadband. Everything went really well to setup, took them less than hour and that included fitting new dish etc. Our old boxes and dish were ancient so it's a welcome upgrade. New epg is so fast and fluid, the old HD box version used to drive me crazy with unresponsive commands and hitting back million times only to end up on home page instead of channel. Early days so far but happy with upgrade, only costing us extra couple of quid per month and obviously the installation fee. The guys fitting the units mentioned that the previous job took them over 3 hours and they still had to go back there, they thought it's something to do with booster boxes.

3 more days before mine is installed seems an age ago since I ordered it
