Can you have multiroom with sky+ box

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.

@Ian117 Sky no longer sell subscriptions or hardware for Sky plus even to existing active accounts

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

Please Note: Sky+ is now a legacy service that Sky are winding down

Your option is to move to Sky Q, this is Sky's supported satellite servce, there is also the option of Sky Glass or Sky Stream, if you want to move away from satellite TV and use the Internet

@Ian117 You would need to replace the sky + setup completely with sky Q or sky glass/stream in both rooms as you can't mix and match between the two

not that I know anything about sky Q but doesnt multi room with sky Q setup just need a network not the internet so couldnt they setup a router with just internal network access?

@Ian117

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 +/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 )
