Summerhouse

Hi, just built a new summerhouse and wish to install a TV. I have Sky wi-fi & Sky Q plus one additional Sky minibox in a bedroom. Can I install another mini box in the summerhouse ? Does it require anything else? Booster, etc, and as a Sky diamond member, is there an additional cost?

Yes, depending on how far away it is from the main Q box.

as a Sky diamond member, is there an additional cost?

As you already have multiroom then only the admin cost of the loan of an additional mini - £50 probably.

Thank you for your response. The distance is approx 12m from the box? is this too far ?

Through a couple of external walls, quite possibly (particularly as signal attenuates through laminate insulation)

Thank you for your quick support. One final question, is there a way of testing this prior to puchasing the new sky box ?

You have a mini box already so try it out there first?
