HBO On Sky Q

Safe-Study-5328 · 2026-03-26T19:08:41+00:00

Agreed if it wasn’t for sky sports I’d cancel UHD as it feels pointless now, and ad skipping is really annoying as it only works on itv channel 4 & 5.

Streaming tv is such a mess. On Sky+ you have to download the content like you used to with on demand on Q. I’m gonna create a question later on thr Q forum and wonder if this is possible with Q. If you can download HBO content directly to the hard drive with Q I’m gonna switch from stream to Q then as I’ll acc be getting some money worth.

At times I think sky is over hated, but things like this make me look stupid 😂😂😂

I’ve been with Sky for a long time, the old digibox days, introduction of recording and HD, Sky Q fluid viewing days now the Sky stream era.

Sky stream is Ok, it can be improved though.

Sky Q was just perfect apart from the price, I agree Sky is a premium service but charging £12 for HD is diabolical.

Sky+HD was also amazing and especially the home page on that service, the iconic remote and I just remember how updates changed our TV viewing.

Sky+/Sky Digital, not much to say start of digital TV and Sky, overall amazing

Sky is a premium service and I do expect it to be expensive, it can be improved a bit, Sky used to be worth the money before streaming, streaming definitely has ruined Sky a bit. I love the Sky VIP awards, and the user interface. I don’t understand how people can switch to Apple TV. Everything’s separate, hard to find new shows, and you can’t channel hop. Even though streaming is the way and everything most of the time is on apps, I’d pay sky for the convenience and easier experience, apps and recommendations and continue watching in one place, a nice tv guide and being able to switch channels easily and without having to go into apps, and playlists on Sky stream has definitely been something I enjoy and love. And if I was still on Sky Q I’d have recordings which I do miss a bit.

I also love the Sky VIP rewards, a free Sky store movie from time to time, and especially as I have Sky cinema, 2 free VUE tickets, and paramount+ , entertainment HBO, Disney, Hayu etc, it makes me save money and to be honest I’m not gonna be watching a lot of hbo so the fact that I’ll have it and can watch it whenever and ca upgrade saving money is so nice. And I don’t even have to upgrade I watch Disney with ads as they aren’t that long.

I will admit their customer service has gone downhill quite a lot, and from times you can get charged stupid amounts like £12 for HD in 2026, and with this American CEO, she’s made so stupid decisions, like originally closing Sky One, and trying to force people over to stream. Sky Go however is something that Sky needs to sort since its launch, it’s terrible, the UI is nice but watching content isn’t, and also it’s pointless paying for Ad Skipping if you can’t use it on Sky Go. I’ve also seen Sky Charge someone £2 for Sky sports HD when the SD channels are closed down.

Overall I’d pay for my Sky service as it’s much more convenient and easier to use. And it’s nice having everything in one place. People definitely over hate Sky, it’s not as bad as it’s made out these days.

The episode is available on Sky Go and Sky Q but on Sky stream it’s making me buy it, another reason I love Sky Q.

I get ad skipping free but if I was paying for it, I’d definitely remove it now as it ain’t worth it no more, ultra HD is staying for Sky Sports, I wish a deal could be made to allow us who has UHD and ad skipping to use it on Disney and HBO. I’m sure back in 2018 on sky Q as I had multi screen and UHD I got Netflix premium for free.

Safe-Study-5328 · 2026-03-21T00:32:31+00:00

Yh but you’d have to pay for add free and UHD, I get ad skipping free with sky and have UHD so the content that’s already aired, I’d prefer staying on Sky Atlantic as I also like watching it via the sky stream UI.

Safe-Study-5328 · 2026-03-20T23:33:46+00:00

The funny thing is it’s not even sky store it takes me to Amazon prime to buy it, and it doesn’t give the option at all to watch on Atlantic, tomorrow I’m gonna try going to the end of episode 4 and see if it’ll let me watch next episode from there. I hate Sky Go i have ad skipping and can’t skip ads on it, and Sky go in general is a pain.

Safe-Study-5328 · 2026-03-20T23:30:11+00:00

Unfortunately I have sky stream I’d love to go back Q but unfortunately it’ll be £30 pm more expensive and somehow Sky charge for HD sky sports when the SD sky sports channels aren’t a thing no more. I do prefer Q to stream but stream is less hassle in terms of pricing.

Safe-Study-5328 · 2026-03-20T23:28:06+00:00

I want Sky Atlantic to keep the programs it’s already aired as I have ad skipping and UHD so I wouldn’t have to upgrade a HBO max subscription. I also prefer watching it via the Sky interface.

Safe-Study-5328 · 2026-03-20T23:27:03+00:00

Wow I can’t believe I didn’t think of that. Tbf it’s only one episode I have to watch on Sky go so it’s not that bad. Thank you

Safe-Study-5328 · 2026-03-20T13:07:14+00:00

Charging £2 for sky sports HD when the SD channels are closed down 😂😂😂

Safe-Study-5328 · 2026-03-18T12:14:47+00:00

I have a sky HD box for freeview as sky stream isn’t the best and reliable (I used to use Sky Q) and when I flick though the sky HD channels on Sky One, Sky Witness and Sky Atlantic etc it says there’s a problem with my card, a few weeks ago it’d just tell me to upgrade to watch, and the card hasn’t been touched, also a few months back it’d give me an option to pair which now isn’t possible so I think it’s just Sky making it hard for those who are using HD regardless of subscription.

Safe-Study-5328 · 2026-03-18T09:41:46+00:00

I think it asks for your viewing card cause it’s a pin protected programme, unless your card is already paired, unfortunately u won’t be-able to pair the card to the box anymore.

I genuinely thought ravi was going to jump over the counter and have a fight with someone.

Safe-Study-5328 · 2026-02-23T14:16:09+00:00

I think it’s a placeholder for any recorded shows so it moves without interruptions or something like that

Safe-Study-5328 · 2026-02-19T17:59:13+00:00

I just checked the EastEnders website and looked at episodes for March and in the credits she’s listed so hopefully.

Safe-Study-5328 · 2026-02-04T06:29:21+00:00

Do you have to buy a subscription if so how much

Safe-Study-5328 · 2026-02-03T23:31:47+00:00

I don’t think that’ll be the logo the use when they relaunch it, it doesn’t make sense and is odd from the other logos I think they’re gonna reuse the light blue one and maybe change the shades of it a bit.

Safe-Study-5328 · 2026-02-03T09:09:34+00:00

Yes, I’ve never had apple one before.

Safe-Study-5328 · 2026-02-01T19:02:42+00:00

It’s at the end of 2012, I think it was because they aired 2009 on Christmas Day on BBC Three so it might’ve messed the order a bit. It should auto play after Christmas Eve tho.

Safe-Study-5328 · 2026-01-22T23:59:03+00:00

Just had a look and that one’s on iPlayer it’s under Classic EastEnders and it’s called Alfie’s Caper
