Sky Q review: a giant leap for broadcast TV

Latest satellite pay-TV system is the best television experience you can get right now, with in-home streaming, modern interface and on-demand focus

Sky Q is satellite broadcaster Sky's new set top box system that takes the idea of TV anywhere - made popular by the likes of Netflix - and applies it to live TV. As the biggest change to the company's offering in both capability and interface in a decade, it is a much needed modernisation of pay TV.

It takes the same content and TV channels available through the older Sky+ and lets viewers watch live, downloaded and recorded video on other devices. The system works by using a Wi-Fi network to spit out TV content from a central satellite box to multiple wireless TV receivers and tablets about the home.
