I have a Nano box. Run off wi-fi. All films are perfect including new releases. Live games are good but not as good as films which are usually perfect. 1000s of songs on karaoke which updates new releases. All tv channels including catch up tv. Also games which I have never used. I paid £90 which is well worth it. You can watch any premiership game 3 pm on a saturday afternoon or midweek.

What box have you got Henry? Is it just a simple plug in connect to wifi and away to go? Or is the set up procedure slightly harder?

Very easy if you have wi-fi. Plug box into the mains, connect hd cable from box to tv. on the menu go to system. settings, system, internet access. once you put your router password in there is no need to do it again.

I've just purchased the sky f5 box for my folks today. They paid a small fortune to sky over the years and apart from th football watch about 6 channels.

Will see what it like when it arrives tomorrow and see if it's worth the hype.
