The first is voice control. Voice search was highly anticipated and, after a bit of a delay, it finally began rolling out in March earlier this year. The other big new feature will be Dolby Atmos support. Sky Q might be your TV saviour, but it also makes throwing a house party a whole lot easier: thanks its built-in AirPlay function, you can easily unleash the music trapped in your iPhone and get the whole house in on the action.
Android users can connect their devices over Bluetooth for the same functionality. This is perhaps one to avoid if you regularly find it impossible to stop watching your favourite shows, but Sky Q can make sure the next episode is always queued up and ready to go. Getting to bed at a reasonable hour is, sadly, down to you.
With Series Link it can be easy for your recordings to get out of hand and end up with 78 unwanted episodes of Impractical Jokers clogging up your box. Best of all, it stays on until you enter the PIN again, even if the box is turned off or unplugged. No need to run home from the shops on a Saturday afternoon to catch it, as Sky lets you start from the beginning during selected sports coverage. Simply navigate to the programme in question, and Sky Q will notify you if you can restart from the beginning of the broadcast.

Thankfully Sky has listened to the masses and added this ability via a software update to Sky Q.
It essentially means that there shouldn't be any recording clashes anymore - unless your favourite shows are all on at 9pm on a Monday, which is just bad luck really. Even though Sky is adding this functionality, you do have to follow a few steps to make sure your box is primed for recording six shows. Oh, and please note: this functionality is only available for those with Sky Q 2TB set-top boxes.
Sky has made it so that you don't need to add this new functionality, until you actually need it.
