Sky Q

Great content, with plenty of 4K ; Impressive picture and sound ; Multi-room TV works well

Expensive ; Requires a dish ; Touchpad remote can be fiddly

While Sky Q now looks a bit outdated next to Sky Stream, for some buyers it will still be the better option

Multi-screen as it should be ; Slick and easy-to-use ; Resume from anywhere

No Ultra HD yet ; Poor app choice ; Expensive

As a Sky customer there is lots to like about the new Sky Q system. Even if not, it is likely to turn your head when you are looking for a new TV service to subscribe to.

Slick new interface ; Fluid Viewing works brilliantly ; Nice new remote ; 4K looks great u2013 especially movies

Expensive ; Remote can be a little over-sensitive ; Prone to the odd crash

Undoubtedly the best TV experience you can get, but only true telly addicts and early adopters need to dive in right now

Fluid menus with logical layouts ; Smart, touch-sensitive controller ; Watch content anywhere with My Q, Fluid Viewing and Sky Go ; Silver box ready to receive 4K channels

It’s not cheap ; WiFi booster feature unavailable to non-Sky Broadband folks ; You don’t get to keep the hardware post-contract ; Not all promised features available from launch

Record up to six channels and watch a seventh ; Full system extends your Wi-Fi ; Responsive, attractive UI

Sometimes crashes ; Touch remote is over-sensitive

If you don't like Sky's mix of content or aren't that fussed about 4K, then Sky Q isn't going to change your mind about signing up and you may be better off with a Now TV subscription for those times you want to watch something on Sky.
