No dish required, Excellent picture quality, Easy installation
Interface lacks a little zip, Extra features cost more, Speedy broadband needed for 4K
Lots of people have been waiting a long time for a product like Sky Stream. Functionality-wise it's hard to find fault with it. Sky+ veterans might miss the local recordings, but the Stream approach feels a lot more modern and doesn't take long to get use...

Abstract: What we likeThe not so goodSky Stream is a small streaming device with minimal connections and a Sky remote control, capable of streaming Sky content to the TV of your choice. When we reviewed Sky Glass last year our main complaint wasn't the content...
Smaller and less obtrusive than Sky Q, Flexible contracts on core content, Uses less electricity
Rewinding and forward winding isn't particularly responsive, Not as many channels as Sky Q, Some streaming niggles
Sky Stream does take a bit of getting used to, and it isn't quite the all-singing, all-dancing system that Sky Q is. But it is possible to work around its quirks and there are enough other positives that it's a genuine alternative.Image quality is excelle...

Übersichtliches Programmangebot,Überragende Sprachsteuerung,Alle gefragten Streaming-Apps verfügbar,Bild und Ton fehlerfrei
IPTV-typischer Zeitversatz
Sky Stream ist mit der Kombination aus Streaming-Box und Inhalte-Paket eine sehr runde Sache: Die Anbieter-Übergreifende Darstellung von Fernsehkanälen und Streaming-Inhalten bietet den derzeit wohl besten Überblick über das gewaltige Medienangebot. Klar, dass Filme und Serien von Sky im Vordergrund stehen, doch die öffentlich-rechtlichen und frei empfangbaren privaten TV-Sender kommen genauso wenig zu kurz wie konkurrierende Streaming-Anbieter. Die sehr gute Fernbedienung und die überragende Suchfunktion mit Spracheingabe sorgen ebenfalls für reibungsarme Bedienung. Dass es im Gegenzug weniger Anschlüsse gibt und keine Möglichkeit, beliebige Apps zu installieren, ist dem Konzept geschuldet. Dafür stimmt die Wiedergabequalität mit sauberen Streams ohne Ruckeln oder Fehlfarben
