Q mini boxes showing too many in use

Hi,

I am frustrated that I can only watch 2 Q mini boxes at once. We are a large family that have 1 sky Q box in a tech rack (not plugged into any T.V's) and 4 sky Q mini boxes plugged into T.V's.

Is there a way I can watch more than 2 T.V's at once (sky T.V not just Netflix)?

I do not want to move the Sky Q box from the tech rack.

No: that's a limit inherent to the system architecture since launch in early 2016, and very unlikely to change now Sky has Stream as an alternative product allowing up to six screens of UHD (internet bandwidth permitting).

Actually, there probably are ways to get the main Q box outputting to a remote screen if you are prepared to invest in something like HDbaseT cabled distribution, but two Mini boxes in simultaneous use is a fixed limit.
