What one would you go for k owing this knowledge and why?

I've had the Sky Stream Puck since January 2023 and i'm in an 18 month Contract and i can't wait till it ends. I have to reboot the Puck at least once a day and i have issues of the Sound dropping for a few seconds, which can be annoying while watching a programme. I've tried many times to change the settings but nothing doing.

Is the sky puck uhd? I have a sky mini box running of the main box. I can’t get 4K and it’s a joke. I don’t really watch live tv anymore but like to watch movies.

Is there an app you can open and watch all the live TV channels like BBC itv etc instead of opening individual catch up apps

Thanks for your review buddy, makes for interesting listening and viewing. I currently have the previous version and have never used it to watch live TV as I have Sky Q. I cannot see where/how you get a live TV guide - do you have to download an app and if so, would you recommend one over another? What I find frustrating with streaming devices, including this one, is that you cannot fast forward through adverts on catch-up (though I guess I've been a little spoilt with Sky Qs recordings - of course I know you cannot record onto Apple TV). Perhaps I'm missing something but I'm trying to decide whether to keep Sky Q and swallow the sky (!) high costs or bite the bullet and shelve it in favour of Apple TV/similar - I think I'd miss the recording element though and gather Sky Stream isn't particularly brilliant at the moment with glitches and bugs, losing wifi/ethernet connection etc.. - and I have a good broadband speed. Thanks again - I've subbed to your channel 🙂

Where can I find more info on Freeview Plus app you mention. I really like my Sky Stream puck but the Freeview app does sound interesting.

I've just ditched freeview (via youview which gave me all the ondemand players and recording) and my nowtv subscription for sky glass. Why? Simply because I got so fed up freeview tv reception being so weather dependent. Glad to no longer rely upon an aerial. Ive never heard of freeview plus, too late now.

As you have the Apple TV plus the Sky Stream puck both connected have you had the HDMI CEC problem from the puck. Stopping your devices switching seamlessly.?

Really professional, and very informative review Steve. Great job

Loving your videos! Tv Laucher is a great alternative to Freeview on Apple TV for live TV. It has a full tv guide and shortcuts to each player.

I got Sky glass I get the same problem sky glass and sky puck set the time to work on the problem

Can you do a video on Sky Go on Apple TV 4K, i have the ps5 skygo and the live sport is like 23fps with double frames to make it 25fps, interested to know if it's worth a upgrade. great videos mate like the videos

Nice review I actually ended up getting both switching from Sky Q to Sky Stream and buying the 2022 Apple TV as I had some gift cards. Sky stream I really like the UI and integration, had replacement remote and a new box due to daily crashing. . For the best app operation Apple TV is by far the best streamer with lightening fast operation and no laggy apps like those found on Sky Stream or many smart TVs. I wonder if Sky Stream will ever launch a Stream App on Apple TV, the more limited Sky Go app is already available.

A limitation of the Apple TV+ app on sky glass and sky stream puck is when you go into the AppleTV app it doesn’t give you your iTunes purchases where if you go into the Apple TV+ app on the Apple TV you have access to all your TV shows and movies purchased on iTunes

Another excellent, informative review. I appreciate your thoughts on running both systems. I’m in the Apple ecosystem so am inclined to get the Apple TV+ box, but like the Sky channels that are not on Apple TV. A quandary. Cheers

Had it since 3pm, it's bloody wonderful!!! (16/04/2024). And yes I have Apple TV+, Netflix, Prime*, all installed. *Prime already has Paramount+.

What is better (cheaper) - Sky Q, Sky Stream or Apple TV (With Now TV)?

how do you even get sky stream every time i try it diverts you to sky glass which i don't want

I have 2 sky stream boxes,fantastic picture and sound ,if you connect it to a decent tv (not glass).Glad got rid of q. I can record everything i need to the cloud.

I use sky stream & amazon fire cube - the cube is registered in USA & this allows me to stream stuff from there using a stream locator hub

Finally had the opportunity to look at Sky Glass in the Sky shop in Belfast this morning, unfortunately the three Irish channels RTE 1,Network 2 and TnaG are unavailable on Sky Glass. The two sales assistants sarcastically stated the Irish channels would become available then went onto say jokingly they’ve been trying to get them on Sky this last two yrs. I explained the Irish channels are available on Sky Q but are no longer available on the Sky Go app (Sky Go streaming app similar to Sky Glass) Both of them succeeded in putting me off getting Sky Glass their attitude and approach left a lot to be desired. Poor customer service with limited knowledge base on the product.

Another stupid question if I may, what is the difference between viewing Apple TV via the app on sky Q and watching Apple TV on an Apple TV 4K box? It's probably a really stupid question but I would appreciate your thoughts, thank you 😊

Are you on the right track with Freeview Plus? Firstly, Freeview Plus is everything you say it is - but it's Australian! It does seem as though there's a British App called Freeview Plus but all it does is direct from one Broadcaster's App (say BBC iPlayer) to another (say ITV X). It doesn't allow the direct playing of any channels via the internet like the Sky Stream. Unless, of course, you have some secret knowledge. Fingers crossed.

Hi can you record on Sky stream?

Apple TV. I just subscribe to a few streaming services Netflix, prime, Now TV, Disney + paramount, Apple TV+. So with all of that I have what I need. Don’t need a satellite subscription. To be honest I haven’t watched Satellite TV for years. Even when I had it, I didn’t even switch the box on. Also have ITV+ and KZfaq premium for ad free playback.

Tips on the video out of focus issue. Just find the focus and switch auto focus off 😊

Reason for some apps not being seen in TV app is dumb developers who did not apply for access for TV private API through developer portal

🤔hard to choose the nvidia shield tv still the best going since it was released There's the new fire cube tv basically firestick on steroids that be the best option imo endless customisation Okay the the main question Apple TV or sky stream 🤔Best answer if you got sky stuff like tv broadband mobile go for it but if you got Apple stuff macs laptop tablets iPhones yh go for it But if you got both 🤷‍♂️ Well I go with Apple TV it has lot of stuff plus games you won't get bored But if you just care about streaming live tv etc sky stream does the job easy You do your pick choose enjoy you won't regret or oh yh do your research before you pick 👍😄 That's it

Agreed. The quality on the Apple TV is much better and no issues opening apps on Apple TV. I’d say the main reason I’ve held on to SKY is the terrible quality of the SKY GO app on Apple TV.

Wish the apple tv let you navigate the guide while watching tv

Apple TV for me. I’m not interested in live tv any more with 90% of new programming being reality tat. Also, no TV license is required for video on demand without iPlayer

There’s an amazing tv guide on Apple TV

I really think Apple should made a step in Europe into satellite business

Also it’s nice that you got Paramount+ for free but unfortunately you won’t get Champions League which it’s shame

What if you use sky go on apple tv what then lol

They should ban subscription models

First you going to see is SEE😂

Iam not fan of streaming tv
