The v3s are all black I have an engineer coming tomorrow so see what he has on his vanI am a bit peeved. Just had my noisy v2 box replaced thinking I would get a v3 2tb but the engineer didn’t know there was as v3 2tb so I’ve got another v2.

Cheers. It’s still as noisy too so waste of time for meThe v3s are all black I have an engineer coming tomorrow so see what he has on his van
Did you get a V3?The v3s are all black I have an engineer coming tomorrow so see what he has on his van
Yes I did he rang me before he arrived I said I have had the v1 and v2 he said he loads of v3 on the van it seams snappier menus etc but could be placeboDid you get a V3?
Do you notice any difference in sound quality from V1 to V3 ? I think I do but could be just placebo on this as well!Yes I did he rang me before he arrived I said I have had the v1 and v2 he said he loads of v3 on the van it seams snappier menus etc but could be placebo
Just had my V1 swapped for a V3, due to the V1 making so much noise and the wifi dropping all the time.. Box seems a lot quieter.
Also seems like the sound output is better. I have a Samsung Q90R soundbar (Atmos etc) and the sound does sound better with normal content and Atmos content, anyone know why this could be the case? are there updated internals
No can’t say I have mate but I would never see myself as an audiophile it’s just sounds good lolDo you notice any difference in sound quality from V1 to V3 ? I think I do but could be just placebo on this as well!
Have you noticed any difference in picture quality as I swear it looks better. Used to have the sharpness turned up as the picture was soft but now have it set to 0 and the contrast etc now just seems better but not seen anyone else commentating on it.
Yep. Same outputs as the V2.Does the V3 box still have a optical digital audio out ?
Cheers,

The Q boxes use AV drives, designed specifically for use in PVR applications.For those complaining of a noisy Sky Q box, you could always try disabling 'pushed on demand' in the service menu.
There's little to nothing else you can really do about it as Q uses always on drives, designed for security TV systems, hence the constant noise.
But, I've found the unit a little quieter with 'pushed on demand' disabled. It's only able to download in HD anyway, so no loss to me.

Thanks for replyingI can confirm the picture does seem better, i had my 2TB V1 replaced today with a V3 due to constantly getting Hard drive errors on mine. HD picture is definitely better, haven't tried 4K just yet
V3 box installed today and I had to install 3 software updates ( now version Q112 ). System seems a bit faster, HDR checked and all ok so far.Our v1 box was changed last week as it continually locked and crashed. A v2 box was installed and that's doing the same! Engineer coming tomorrow and I've asked for a v3 box.
So everyone is saying that the V3 picture is better on HD? I switched from Sky+ HD to Sky Q in 2016 and noticed the HD picture was really soft and worse. I switched back to Sky+ HD after a few months. But willing to review again if they have improved things since.

Just called Sky as we have had 3 main boxes and every one of them has given is constant issues
The main one is the box freezing up and having to pull the power cable out the back and in again, then hear the fans whir for about 10 seconds and calm down, then the box reboots. Our Main box is in a well aired unit so it's not due to overheating or anything
We have an enginner booking for tomorrow afternoon, and I have also requested to have the latest V3 box installed, due to all the issues previously.
