Basic Help, please

Ke — Thu, 19 Oct 2023 22:13:26 GMT

At the moment I have 2 x Sky+HD boxes, 2 x Viewing Cards, one upstairs and one down.

We live on Jersey CI, so can't get Sky Broadband, and ours is very iffy.

We want to get a SkyQ Wi-Fi box for downstairs,

Does this box also plug into current Dish as well as Internet. ?

Is there any known problems to keeping 1 x Sky+HD Box and 1 x SkyQ box ?

Thank you for your help

Keith

@Ke

A Sky Q box replaces the Sky+HD set up and an engineer will make a slight change to the LNB on your satellite dish. You'd need one main Sky Q box and a Sky Q mini box for the other TV. This will require a Multiscreen subscription too so remember to ask for a mini box and Multiscreen. Also remember both boxes would be loaned to you and have to be returned as and when you cancel.

hi @Ke

You may be better looking for a second hand box on ebay etc.

As @Daniel0210 says SKY Q totally replaces SKY HD & you can't have both SKY Q & SKY HD

May I suggest you also read some notes I have put together for people thinking of moving from SKY HD to SKY Q - see especially my references regarding recordings only being made on the main box & no separation or User prfofile system.

SKY HD to Q
