As an authorised Sky agent, Cube Communications is in prime position to offer you an upgrade of existing Sky packages to SkyQ. We are at the forefront of upgrading Sky and Sky HD to SkyQ in high-rise blocks of flats and businesses across the country.

We also carry out extensive work for new build complexes, housing association dwellings, social landlords and letting agents. We use our dSCRs (Digital Single Cable Routers) to upgrade your existing package to SkyQ without the need for multiple satellite dishes on the outside of your building, or multiple wires.

What is Sky Q?

Sky Q is not just a service, but a complete family of devices. It incorporates a number of enhanced elements over Sky+ boxes, while still providing many of the features you expect.

The range of Sky Q hardware devices start with a top-of-the-range 2TB Sky Q set-top-box that's designed to sit in the living room, much like the lesser-specced Sky+ HD box. There is also a second main set-top-box, the Sky Q 1TB box, that has a smaller hard drive and lacks some features, but is a great alternative for those on a budget.

There are other devices and ways to connect too, with a Sky Q Mini box to extend the Sky Q experience into other rooms (replacing Sky Multiroom), a Sky Q Hub internet router, and a Sky Q voice remote with voice control. The remote has a touchpad, though there is an alternative too, with buttons rather than a swipeable panel.

There was a dedicated Sky Q mobile app too, but that has since been integrated into Sky Go.

With the various devices, the overall Sky Q experience is all-encompassing, letting you watch what you want, where you want and whenever you want.

The current Sky Q set-up requires a satellite dish connected to either the 1TB or 2TB set-top-box.

Sky Q Multiroom and Multiscreen Viewing

One of the Sky Q system's biggest talents is that you can watch your content in different rooms and on different devices. This is thanks to the multiple tuners in the Sky Q set-top boxes enabling you to record, as well as share content around the house.

The Sky Q Mini box doesn't need to be connected to your satellite dish, it works wirelessly (or through powerline connectivity) so is a perfect bedroom solution. It's integrated with the main box, enabling you to view live or recorded content, as well as watch catch-up and on-demand services.

The same is true of the tablet/smartphone app, letting you view in different rooms, on your iPad or Android tablet for example. This is now through the main Sky Go app that also works with Sky+, rather than a dedicated Sky Q app as before. You can use it to stream content or even download your own recordings from the main Sky Q box for viewing when offline.

Sky Q will work across up to two tablets or smartphones and three TVs simultaneously - you can upgrade this to four mobile devices if you have Sky Go Extra. It will record up to six channels at once - all thanks to those 12 TV tuners in the 2TB box.

You can not only watch in different rooms through this super-connected arrangement, but you can pause and resume elsewhere, rather like you can on most streaming services.

You are able to flow from room to room and watch whatever you want. You don't have to run cables around your house and use an IR blaster just because you want to watch Sky upstairs, as Sky Q is designed to do exactly that.
