Re: New sky Q box
The protocol that is used is called DIAL (Discovery and Launch). It powers Netflix, Google Chromecast, Samsung and Sony smart tv/players and also is used in the nowtv and the sky set top box (well those photos I assume anyway).
Of course it works alongside uPnP and SSDP plus the http protocols.
A useful background of DIAL here and here
Of course each device or box manufacturer will have its own sdk (aka google chromecast sdk), so third parties can create their own functionality to their app.
DNLA is used as the main sharing of media on devices like the Sony playstation, Xbox and media servers, but of course many devices can also share media via dlna, but not used for the casting.Last edited by lettice; 27-07-15 at 08:26 AM.

Don't think that The Telegraph mentioned that the SkyQ will be their new 4K box to compete with BT http://www.engadget.com/2015/07/27/s...g-skyq-4k-box/

That telegraph journalist has sort of had sky confirm his story on his twitter account;
Shout out to the Sky person on here who confirmed my story this morning before deleting their tweet.

Re: New sky Q box
I would be very interested in upgrading to the new box as soon as it becomes available, provided that it has a wired Ethernet connection and there is a reliable method of transferring recordings from my current box. Otherwise I'll wait until I have no other choice.

Re: New sky Q box
Being able to record four programmes at once (assuming off-air) will require four satellite feeds, so a maximum of two Q boxes from one dish unless quatro LNBs and multiswitches are being fitted as standard.
