Exciting stuff! New features could be nice but hopefully a good few bug fixes!

How long is a piece of string. Sky are at the bottom of the ladder for keeping its customers informed of software upgrades. They have a lot to learn on that front.

Have to agree.

I wanted to upgrade but it says online upfront cost of £497 that can't be correct?
I'm downgrading from Sky Q after finding it all a little lacklustre, thankfully within the 2 week cooling off period, so it 'should' be trouble-free.
I find the UI is pretty clunky, lacks a lot of the features of the SKY+ HD UI that I liked and the hardware is clearly in dire need of further testing and refinement.
It needs a lot more work, but I guess it is first generation and all.

Has anyone got Sky Q and a Sky Q mini box with BT sport on both?
When installed BT sport only worked on the main box when I expected it to work on both as there is only one view card. Sky said I needed to speak to BT but havent had chance yet. Is it an extra charge to get it working on a second or third mini box?

Yes, BT charge an extra 5 or 6 quid for it to work on minis. Daylight robbery.
The new firmware:

Will this be pushed out by itself or will it need a manual update?

Thanks is that per mini box or a one off charge?
One off I believe so you can watch on two minis if you want. Don't quote me though as I don't have BT Sport myself.
Will happen automatically but in slow stages to start with in case of issues so might be a while before you get it.
I really like Sky Q when it works, but on my mini's I can probabably watch for 10 minutes then I get the error and I can't watch anything unless I go and unplug everything...
I've re-set it all, re-setup everything always the same and I use a
ASUS RT-AC87U AC2400 Router which is a good and not cheap router.. I can connect to my wifi from the bus stop over the road so it is not a wireless distance issue.. super frustrating and not sure what to do!
