My 80 year old neighbour is currently with Virgin Media but is considering moving to Sky but he has two questions that he would like an answer to befor making his descision. [1] He has a TV in the lounge and on in the dining room his wife watches sports in the lounge and he watched other TV in the dining room. Sky claims to wifi TV to all tv's in the house but can it  show a different channel on each TV.  [2] He used to be with Sky a long while ago and still has the old dish outside on the wall, if he moves to sky will he still receive a free sky box/

Thank you

Yes, but note it's not 'wifi TV to all tv's in the house' but WiFi to individual Sky boxes, one of which must be connected to each television over HDMI cable

[2] He used to be with Sky a long while ago and still has the old dish outside on the wall, if he moves to sky will he still receive a free sky box/

The box(es) can be 'free' in the sense that hardware cost is covered by the monthly subscription.  There ain't no such thing as a free lunch, as a wise man once wrote: a main Sky Q box plus a Q Mini box might have no up-front fee but necessitates paying the Multiscreen subscription supplement on top of the subscription content cost.

Also note that Sky Q is the satellite television product while Sky Glass and Sky Stream are internet-only.

Thank you TimmyBGood for your reply I found it very helpful, could you now please answer some more questions for me? [1] is sky still installing skyQ setups or are they focussing on the streaning side? [2] If my neighbour goes for the screening option ie over Brodaband would I be right in assuming that he would need a wifi router, one recording TV box (to coonect to one TV) and a small wifi connection box for the second TV (not requiring recording) and if I am correct is this something standard from Sky?

Best regards

Arthur

Sky Q is still available

The Stream product doesn't record locally at all: each television would have an identical WiFi-connected 'puck'.  A reasonably fast broadband connection (at least 'average'  FTTC) and decent WiFi is a must.
