Will my existing box mysteriously explode or something upon the release of this Sky Q Box?

Took one apart and cleaned up the button contacts the other day... Came apart easily, only one screw in the battery compartment then pry apart and slide out the infrared lens. The pcb was all greasy so cleaned it with paper towel and a squirt of wd40, then washed the rubber buttons and case in soapy water and dried them with hairdryer. Put back together and it works as good as it used to now.
Only 10 mins work so worth trying before buying a new one

can any remote control any sky box or does it need to be programmed to the exact box ?

I think they can work with any sky box, but if you get this one and don't have Sky+ you won't be able to use the features of play/pause etc
if you have a normal box just get the normal remote, the 50% off is off all remotes

If you have a remote from say an old sky+ box it will work on a sky+ HD box you may find it doesn't have full functionality

very much doubt you will.
Q will be aimed as a premium product - cannot see them ditching their older models anytime soon.

A Sky+HD (black/silver) remote works with both recordable and non recordable HD boxes. A Sky+ remote (blue/white) works with a Sky+,Sky+HD and a SkyHD and a standard non HD box will work with a standard remote only.
All remotes can be programmed with special codes though to work with any box....
