In the latest issue of Home Cinema Choice we put Sky’s new Sky Q system and its Silver PVR to the test. Does this 12-tuner 4K-ready PVR – and Sky Q’s wireless multiroom tricks – make it an essential home cinema upgrade?
Also on our test bench is Sony’s flagship XD9405 Ultra HD TV – find out why this monster 75in set delivers the best HDR performance we’ve seen yet – plus Optoma’s ultra-short-throw GT5000 projector, a high-end 2 x 12in Fathom subwoofer from JL Audio, Sony’s high-spec UHP-H1 Blu-ray player, an affordable Full HD projector from ViewSonic, Marantz’s Atmos/DTS:X SR7010 receiver and more – including a roundup of five premium soundbases speakers from Cabasse, Canton, Geneva, Philips and Yamaha. So if you’re looking for new kit – whatever your budget – then we’ve got you covered.
On the software side, we celebrate the 10th anniversary of the launch of Blu-ray with an in-depth look at its origins, developments and landmark releases. Meanwhile, our Playback section kicks off with the Ultra HD Blu-ray release of award-winning epic The Revenant, plus Triple 9, The Hateful Eight, The 5th Wave and the BFI’s mega Alan Clarke boxset.
Elsewhere, we give you the lowdown on how TV packages from BT, Sky and Virgin Media compare, pay a visit to Shenzhen to discover how China is preparing to launch 8K TV, and check out a retro home cinema with cutting-edge technology. We also reveal the delights of networking your AV gear, take a tour of an HCC reader’s movie den, pick the 10 best Quentin Tarantino movies on disc and pay homage to the golden years of LaserDisc packaging…
Plus all the usual opinions, advice, news and more. Enjoy the show!
