They may well have got me interested if they had somehow integrated Sky into the same ugly black box, but having another box for what is essentially sound effects, I just don't buy it. This also assumes that you have your Sky box underneath your TV and many people have them wall mounted without anything underneath. I'm a Sky customer of over 10 years and wouldn't buy one of these regardless of the association with Devialet. And Sky Q is a dogs dinner picture quality wise - they ought to fix that first. I think Devialet have missed the point and are very late to the party. Good luck to them though.
You'll be hunted down for such an incredulous comment! Run!!!

Maybe I'm being stupid, but what does this box seek to achieve, and how?

To make two billionaires richer, (along with a bunch of shareholders), by convincing a load of Sky customers they need it to really enjoy the football and golf.....

That's probably not the answer he was looking for so here's the real answer:
It's a sound bar but in the shape of a shoe box. So a sound shoe box is probably the name this type of device will adopt over time.

Per the above, investment from Renault, amongst others. I also noticed a little while ago that Devialet have been advertising jobs for people with car audio experience. So what happens next?

Hi Confused, two small, small phantoms on the dashboard or in the back would not be bad either
