There is wonderful news for families across the UK as Sky Q rolls out a fantastic array of new features just in time for the festive season. Starting from Wednesday 18 November 2020, the award-winning TV box is getting a delightful upgrade to make your entertainment experience even more personal and enjoyable. Over the coming month, these updates will ensure that finding your favourite shows has never been easier, bringing everything you love together in one simple place.
Get ready to enjoy over 40 movies in High Dynamic Range (HDR) this Christmas on Sky Cinema. From 9th December, you can immerse yourself in nostalgic classics like the Back to the Future trilogy, the beloved Harry Potter films, and family favourites such as The Secret Garden and Dolittle. New premieres including Emma, Little Women, and Bad Boys for Life will also arrive in stunning HDR. Additionally, you can watch Sky originals like Tin Star: Liverpool, Gangs of London, and the Emmy award-winning drama Chernobyl in this spectacular picture quality throughout December. A new 'HDR' icon will help you easily spot these visual treats.
Sky Q is becoming even more user-friendly with enhanced voice search capabilities. Simply say "What should I watch" to receive personalised recommendations, or try "Show me great TV" to see the best of Sky and Netflix. Comedy fans can ask for "Made for Laughter lovers" to find the perfect show. The home page now features a personalised "What's On Now and Next" rail, allowing you to see live content on your favourited channels without needing to visit the TV guide. Furthermore, you can now keep watching recordings, video on demand, and access your favourite apps even if your satellite signal is temporarily lost, ensuring your entertainment never stops, no matter the weather.
Updates to Sky Go mean there is now more sporting action available to watch on your devices anywhere. You can catch up on the latest trending sport videos and enjoy more live action, keeping you connected to the excitement wherever you are. With new personalised collections and a host of parental controls to keep the whole family safe, Sky Q is set to be the perfect companion for your holiday relaxation.
