Sky TV - Satellite v glass v stream

[crewmeal]

Sky are offering new ways to watch their platform. Personally on a demo I found the glass tv very bulky, stream was ok but both couldn't record your favourite programmes. I was told to use iplayer itvx etc, but much of it is in standard definition. No thanks, I'll stick to my satalitte Q box.
What do you think?

I've not looked beyond satellite, as I don't want to put all my eggs in one broadband basket. Not being able to record programmes would be a non-starter for me. They may be available in other places, but who needs the hassle?

I've got stream, with 4 boxes in the Lounge, Kitchen, Bedroom and Office. All very good and I like that I can use it everywhere. As for recording just use catchup.

Quite clear for me - the Sky Q box is fine for me, and if I want it mobile, or in a different room, the Sky apps on both Apple and Android work fine.

Sky engineer told me that unless you have super fast fibre broadband that it will cause everything else to slow to a crawl. I have not so it's a no for me

yup - you really want the optical cable right to the house and even then it noticeable if someone decides to log in to their Netflix account
