For me I've only ever had minor issues/complaints. HDR used to be always on, not adaptive. this setting has now been updated. The odd recording hiccup, but nothing like my brothers box that used to divide recordings up into 10/11/12 upto 15 x 10min chunks etc. 

 

The UI can be slow etc not recognize remote inputs, then all of a suddon boom they all happen.

 

Is it perfect? no, but is anything?....lol. 

 

It may be still hit and miss box by box but for me its been 95% fine, and would say its fine for most people on here. 

 

Would I reccomend it to my parents (over 70's), NO.

 

 

Thanks for the feedback. Keen to hear of anyone elses experience. 

 

I don't want an unresponsive UI and I don't want unreliable recordings as the only reason to have sky is for sport. 

 

I have 3 of the full new Sky boxes. Experience is incredibly painful - still. Have had them from day0.
Like anything - you tend to work around deal with the issues/avoid them but its painful at times.

• On our new Frame TV - lots of issues with HDMI sync where Sky box just wont show up. Have to effectively reboot the TV or reboot the Sky box. Most painful issue.
• UX is still slow. Slow to the point that we dont use the TV guide as it takes forever to browse through.
• Recordings will occassionally get messed up for no reason. Sit down to watch the news later in the evening and find that the recording doesnt even play. Give up and use TVNZ on demand.
• Remote is stupidly sensitive to the point that one slight touch causes it to change the channel etc.
• Ocassionally the box just locks up - requires hard reboot
• Occassional end up with just a blue screen (not like Windows) but just blue - requires a hard reboot.

Overall - still painful!
