Temporary relocation

HelenDun — Tue, 03 Oct 2023 21:08:38 GMT

We are having work done that requires us to clear the room where our main Skyq box is for a period of between 7-19days. We also have a sky q mini box in another room. How can we temporarily relocate the main Skyq box so we can continue use Sky services during this time?

@HelenDun

If you only intend to watch Sky TV on the mini box in the other room you can buy Satellite cable extension kit ( amazon-Coaxial-Cable-Connectors-Kit ) so the main sky Q box can be relocated to outside the room your having done up (but would mean having cables running through this room).

Otherwise you'll need to get either Sky or a local satellite installer to relocate the cables from the dish to another room

Thanks for the swift reply I think we might try to leave it plugged in , in the room and figure out how best to protect it from dust etc without a risk of over heating. Any suggestions?

@HelenDun its fine to put the sky q box in a small cupboard like a bedside cabinet or another type of enclosure which we generally say leave at least about 6 inches of space around the box for circulation purposes.
