Sky Mini Box YouTube Rename Device

Petruchio — Sun, 30 Jun 2024 13:49:20 GMT

I have a Sky Q main box, along with two Sky Q mini boxes.

Is there a way to change the name of the devices? The reason I ask is that when I want to "throw" a YouTube video from my phone to a mini box both of them come up as options. This in itself is fine, but they just say SkyQMini8933 and SKyQMini8934 and I can never remember which one is which! It'd be easier if I could just rename them, but I can't find any way of doing this?

Did you find a way of doing this?

There is a video on YouTube that shows this being done, but it was a while ago and I don't know if it is still valid.

If you type in the URL below into your browser, replacing <ip address> with your Sky Q Mini's IP address (Settings, Status, Network Connection, Network Setup, Advanced Settings), you can apply a new name, and an airplay pin.
