Can I get sky stream upstairs?

I'm coming back to sky after a lot of years off and have just received my sky stream. I want to set it up downstairs but also be able to watch it upstairs.
We won't need to watch it at the same or watch two different things at once, it'll be we either watch downstairs or upstairs. Is this possible without paying more money?

Without paying for Whole Home, your only choice would be to physically unplug the Stream box and move it between TVs when you want to swap over.

Sky Go would work on an Apple TV or similar but you;d need to pay for Whole Home at that point, so you may as well have a second Stream puck.

Yes, you can unplug the puck and move it between television sets, as long as each location has sufficient WiFi coverage.

It's best to spend a few pounds on an HDMI port saver if you are going to do that, because otherwise the built-in HDMI socket is likely to become degraded over time.
