Please have a read and look at the pictures......
I do like SkyQ even though I've had lots of issues with the connection dropping on the mini boxes that's hopefully after 3 months of sky techs and visits now seems to be fixed.However after getting a new TV fitted in the bedroom the SkyQ 1080p picture looked crap !!
Watching the same program on my lounge tv was stunning. So thought it was the new TV so I had it exchanged but after setting up another new TV still had the same issues. So I did some more testing.........I unplugged my SkyQ silver main box and took it upstairs where I disconnected the mini box and set the SkyQ in the bedroom (luckily I still had 2 cables from my sat dish in my bedroom) the difference is astonishing. And to be honest I'm really not happy with the amount of money I'm paying !!
This can only be down to the picture being streamed from the SkyQ sliver box to the mini. It's loosing picture quality so can't really be a proper 1080p signal being received to the mini box.I'm getting in touch with sky tomorrow as I'm not/can't put up with this !!Here are a couple of pictures showing the difference. Same tv same settings. First pic is SkyQ silver box, second pic is the mini box.
