Sky Q – the next generation of TV and 2016’s most hotly anticipated launch in TV tech – will go on sale in February with Sky’s lowest ever set-up cost for a brand new premium product launch.
Sky Q will be available to buy from Tuesday 9 February, with home installations beginning at the end of the month.
As a premium product, Sky Q comes with an entirely new level of customer service. For the first time ever, Sky Q customers will receive servicing and mechanical fault repairs at no extra cost. In addition, customers will have access to a dedicated premium service centre based in the UK. And everyone taking Sky Q – whether an existing Sky customer or new to Sky – will get a full professional installation as part of the set-up cost, to ensure they fully benefit from all the great features of Sky Q and Fluid Viewing.
Stephen van Rooyen, Chief Marketing, Sales & Digital Officer, Sky, said:
“We’ve had a fantastic reaction to Sky Q. So I’m delighted to reveal the news that people will be able to get Sky Q for our lowest ever set-up cost for a new premium product.
We wanted to completely re-imagine TV, making it flexible and seamless across the screens in our lives. With Sky Q and Fluid Viewing that’s exactly what we’ve done – giving people the best TV tech on the market today, at a really accessible price. We think people will love it.”
Sky Q – a whole new way of watching TV – makes it easier than ever to access your favourite TV in and out of the home, and brings an even wider range of entertainment to the big screen. A brand new family of Sky’s most advanced products – including Sky Q, Sky Q Silver, Sky Q Mini, Sky Q touch remote, the Sky Q Hub and the Sky Q app, all connect wirelessly to create an ecosystem that makes TV viewing seamless – called Fluid Viewing.
Fluid Viewing gives you the flexibility to pause a show in one room and pick up the action right where you left it on another TV or tablet in your home. It introduces the number one requested feature from customers, the ability to take recordings with you wherever you go. And battles over what to watch or record are a thing of the past, as you can also watch different programmes simultaneously on up to five screens around the home while recording up to four other channels – a first in the UK and Ireland.
Sky Q will launch with two brand new bundles. The Sky Q Bundle gives customers the benefits of Fluid Viewing, together with the very best range of entertainment content from Sky – including:
The Sky Q Silver Bundle gives you everything from the Sky Q Bundle, plus:
All customers who already have Sky Broadband or who purchase Sky Broadband when buying Sky Q will also receive our new Sky Q Hub that turns Sky Q boxes into Wi-Fi hotspots, giving a supercharged Sky Broadband experience with the strongest and best coverage throughout the home. Sky Q installations will be phased with Sky Broadband customers receiving the product first, before very soon opening up to those with other broadband providers.
After launch, Sky Q will keep getting better for customers with a pipeline of innovative new features, including a powerful new voice search capability. In addition, the Fluid Viewing experience will come to even more screens with a new app for smartphones to follow.
