Keep a check on your My Sky or Sky Service app and check if there are any earlier engineer availability dates that become available in there for your area.
Perhaps a different reason why to upgrade to sky q, but I upgraded in the summer as was about to have an extension done and our lounge would at times by sealed off or used for storage and honestly, best decision ever.... to be able to just go to different room and recordings and so on are there.
WTF i ordered mine last week and not getting it to 9th JAN>:(
Would not be happy with that, that's almost two months away.
Perhaps you could nag and say it is a a Christmas pressie for your family?
Have some engineer alternative dates in mysky for a few days after and the week after my install in December, worth to keep looking in there
Had a friend a month or so back who ordered an extra mini and had to have an engineer install
Sky quoted a few weeks to install and she complained and sky changed it to come round in a few days to install, engineer was there about ten minutes
Daft thing is she mentioned that the engineer was happy she using this mini to move around the house with, so no point engineer checking wifi
Mind her house is very jumbled lot of levels and old and new building, so he might have giving up trying haha

I made a call to SKY yesterday to see if they could get it before the 9th but no luck they can not do it any earlier>:(

If there are no installer dates available, there are none available, they don't give a date that far away if they had earlier dates.
Yes, earlier dates might become available, but at the time of order, that would have been the earliest date available in that area.
They weren't allocated to apps - the breakdown is:-
4 recordings
2 mini
2 tablet/mobile
1 main box viewing
1 epg data
1 picture in picture (epg and my Q)
1 spare.
The CAI presentation at Evolving Connectivity 2016 gave the following breakdown
Sky Q Silver – 12 tuners
•1 for constant viewing.
•4 for recording.
•1 for picture-in-picture.
•2 now (4 later) for the Mini Box.
•2 for tablet streaming
I assume the SkyQ basic 8 tuner receiver would be
•1 for constant viewing.
•3 for recording.
•1 for picture-in-picture.
•1 now (2 later) for the Mini Box.
•1 for tablet streaming
Have the spare tuners, expected to be used for extra mini boxes, been reallocated to recording?

Shame, do feel for you having to wait so long
Keep checking your mysky, it changes often with new dates
I had a new date appear in mine this morning for two days before my installation
But sticking with my date
Just been round my second home this morning and neighbour had some packages for me
Odd thing, got sent two sky hubs
Just called sky they said to give the spare to engineer
Might if I remember
New card has arrived this morning

When I got SkyQ 2tb box installed in summer the engineer said that it's got 27 tuners in it I didn't believe him till now with this new update coming

We too had an extension done over the summer, Q was installed in advance of that, but we now have, or can have Sky in all rooms with a TV, and no wires to be plumbed in !
Would have been a pain trying to run the sat cable to the new location in the Kitchen / Dining room, so left main box in lounge all wired up as before, and minis used wherever needed :-) Downside is cannot go back to old Sky+ and the connection issues that crop up time to time with the minis, although not as bad as many have !
Why would you want to record so many things at once anyway now that nearly everything is available on demand.
If all you're interested in is the latest American drama you can probably rely on On Demand (although Sky Atlantic seems a bit hit and miss). But if you mostly watch stuff on the documentary channels On Demand is very hit and miss. If a channel even has an On Demand presence (several don't) it'll often only be a catch-up service with items disappearing within seven days.
Even though Q box does crash occasionally it's still a thousand times better than SkyHD. I'd never go back to that. I would like the reminder option brought back though.
When Sky Q lets you have two independent Sky Q Silver boxes in the home it will be perfect.

That is a major floor in the q system. There are lots of families in the same houses who don't want to 'share' a box.
I don't think the update to enable recording a 5th channel has been implemented yet.
Looking forward to get the 5th 6th recording
Shame last nights update didn't implement it because I want to record a film next Tuesday and I can't because I am already recording 4 programmes at that time. I guess I can delete a couple of scheduled recordings and download them on CatchUp. My touch remote control wouldn't work this morning so I had to go through the set up for it again.

Will that be in the track my order?
Yes in there.

So, based on no multiroom, and you do use tablet etc, there is no point in chnaging to Q, as the benefits you may see are diminished.
Would not say its a thousands times better, but it IS certainly better than Sky+
The 'apps' on the side menu however, are a waste of time, not even sure why they included them !

What when did that start?
Boxes updated overnight to Q004 - adds voice search, simplified menus, UHD series downloads,etc.
I see if mine has updated
