You've probably seen the ads, and you've probably wondered what it is, but 'Sky Q' is the latest attempt to reimagine the Sky digital subscription service, just as you'd gotten comfortable with Sky HD.

It's essentially Sky's answer to Netflix, giving the user a more customisable and 'swipey' experience, for lack of a better term.

Not much, clearly.

In fairness, the idea of being able to use your Sky box from room to room is very promising, and will be a problem solver for many homes, but we'll wait and see what it's going to cost and how smoothly it operates before passing judgement.

Oh, and why does David Beckham have it already? Because he's David Beckham. He's got a cool 20 odd million followers on Instagram alone and they'll all be wondering what this cool looking device is. That's good marketing right there.
