Multi room and additional boxes

GemmaT1984 — Sat, 05 Aug 2023 12:52:18 GMT

Hey,

Silly question most probably, but we have Sky multi room and I'd like to add a box to my daughters room. Do I just need to purchase an additional mini Sky Q box?

We already have one of these in our room so there would be the main box downstairs and two mini Q's in the bedrooms.

thanks!

A multiroom subscription covers up to 4 mini boxes.

A point to note is that you cannot 'buy' Sky Q boxes - you pay an admin fee and they are lent to your for the duration of your subscription.

The maximum amount of concurrent mini boxes is 2 (some older main Q boxes only support 1).

@GemmaT1984 the old 1TB non UHD box is the one that could only support 1 active mini

If you look in

Home - Settings - System Info - Hardware Version

If it is 32Cxxxx then it is the one that only supports 1 mini, if it is 32Bxxx then it supports 2 active

@Donnathornsbury yes you can add a multiscreen box to your account You can have a maximum of 4 mini boxes loaned to you by Sky.

All 2TB boxes and the UHD/HDR 1TB permit watching on two mini boxes and the main box at 1 time. You may also be able to use a 3rd mini box at the same time if you’re using it for one of the apps such as Netflix.
The older 1TB non UHD box only allows you to watch on 1 mini box as well as the main box .

Each mini box which is loaned to you may be subject to a one off upfront charge but you only need one Sky Q monthly Multiscreen subscription.
