Re: Sky gears up to launch SkyQ
Whilst the Sky Viewing card is a strong part of Sky's current security, it has been broken.
Last year Watchdog or Panorama, I think, did a feature on a pirate STB that could decrypt Sky's broadcasts. Apparently there are quite a few in the London area.
The viewing card offers a relatively quick method to swap over STBs should one fail. So long as electromechanical components fail, this will always be important. It also is a great watch for Sky to ensure that a specific customer gets what they want, even when Internet access is limited.

Re: Sky gears up to launch SkyQ
Of course I wouldn't recommend that anyone buy one. Seriously I wouldn't.
If people want to complain about Sky and their high prices, then that's one thing. From memory you still need to pay a monthly subscription to these rogue STB suppliers. sure it's less, but technically its going straight into the pockets of real criminals.

I'm told the guide is a flakey too, also, no record, at least not one the one I was told about.

Re: Sky gears up to launch SkyQ
Well the EPG that it has, not matter how flaky it may or may not be, will look pretty dated compared to the new Sky Q box.
Whilst Sky Q is being pushed as a premium product, with lots of potential for bolt on extras, the hack job just won't be able to compare without some serious money to develop it which I think isn't going to happen some how.

SkyQ Monthly Subscription would be £100 a month! No thanks Sky!
Sky's SkyQ set-top box likely to lift subscription prices, analysts say | Business | London Evening Standard

Re: Sky gears up to launch SkyQ
Yes, that's comparing the maximum package now at £87 to over £100, so shall we say an extra £15 per month on top of whatever TV package you currently have.
