What is a Sky Q box?

Sky Q Sky Go Devices

The Sky Q box gives you access to Sky’s premium TV service of the same name. As well as the ability to pause, rewind and record live TV, Sky Q boasts a whole load of features designed to enhance your viewing.

Sky Q 1TB box

With the Sky Q 1TB box you can:

  • Record up to 3 shows whilst watching a fourth live
  • Access apps like Netflix, YouTube, Disney+ and Spotify
  • Store up to 500 hours of SD recordings
  • Enjoy HD films and TV shows
  • Watch live TV and your recordings on one Sky Q Mini box

With the Sky Q 2TB box you can:

  • Record 6 shows whilst watching a 7th live
  • Access apps like Netflix, YouTube, Disney+ and Spotify
  • Store up to 1000 hours of SD recordings
  • Enjoy 4K Ultra HD films and TV shows
  • Watch live TV and your recordings on two Sky Q Mini boxes simultaneously

Sky Q 1TB UHD box

The Sky Q 1TB UHD box does everything that the standard model can do with one key difference, it allows you to enjoy a great variety of films, sport, series and documentaries in beautifully glossy UHD.

In addition to the box, customers will need a 4K compatible TV, the Sky HD and Ultra HD add ons plus a broadband speed of at least 25Mbps. If you want to watch films and sports in UHD, you'll need the Sky Cinema and Sky Sports add ons too.

Sky Q 1TB vs 2TB

The 2TB box allows you to do more than either version of the 1TB box but depending on your viewing habits it may not always be the best option for you.

If you don’t need lots of recording space for example, then the 1TB box will be perfect for you. Those who live in a large household where the ability to stream to multiple mini boxes is important however, will want to opt for the 2TB box.

There’s also the idea of budget to consider. New customers will have to pay more to get the 2TB box installed on top of purchasing the base Sky Signature package and any extras like HD or Kids.
