On the surface Sky Stream is a great concept. Sky TV without the need for a dish. So why the poor review? Sky stream's execution is just garbage. The pucks are under powered and have all manner of issues. The most criminal of all is charging customers to "Skip" adverts, which is not really skipping at all. It's fast forwarding through adverts that Sky themselves have inserted in the middle of content, including their on-demand offerings (box sets). The problem is, it simply doesn't work. If you try to fast forward at anything above 6-12x it will either miss the start of your show, or bounce you straight back to the beginning of the adverts. Why?, because the boxes are garbage and don't contain enough buffer memory to allow for a seemless experience. That's not to mention the constant slight pauses and audio dropouts IV experience. This is on a 1Gbit broadband connection, connected via ethernet. If you are currently in Sky Q, I'd highly recommend you stay that way, or consider NowTV, as the service offers an add free experience with the Boost Bolt-on.
