Hi, my elderly dad has just come out of hospital and confined to his bedroom . He wants sky TV in there so needs a multiroom of some sorts. Mum will be watching sky in the living room still. Will sky still supply a box with sky+ in main room? There is no internet at the house either. Thanks in advance.

Regarding SKY Q I think you may wish to read some notes I have made for people considering switching from SKY +/HD to SKY Q
SKY Q multiscreen does need a router for network allocation of addresses etc & I believe requires an internet connection for activation of the minis & a lot SKY Q functionality is designed around an internet connection. (cc @HeathHayle )

you would need to upgrade to Sky Q to get multi room
