From the reaction of customers I'm seeing online, the new Sky box would seem to be a spectacular fail.
NZ's main technology forum Geek Zone has an unprecedented one hundred or so pages of overwhelmingly negative responses from people:

Even a bloke who appears in the Sky ad promoting the new box in return for a free box and Sky credit has since concluded that it is a substandard product and is warning people about it, having found that it has a lot of glitches, won't record properly, needs constantly re-booting etc.:

siva992: Has anyone given up on the new Sky box? Cuz I'm this close 🤏 to returning it and I don't mind giving up my credit I received for trial and being on the commercial.
Done. Returned it and got them to reactivate the good old Sky box with MySky. No questions were asked. Kinda tells me they are aware about everything.
