Can you watch two different programs using sky multiscreen?

Yes. You can watch different live TV or different recordings on a mini box and main box. (UHD doesn't work on a mini box).

Ok thank you.

So if I wanted to put it in my sons room, it would give him access to our full sky account??

@Carl1401

Yes. All recordings are stored on your main Sky Q box only.

In case you're not aware, you can have a maximum of 4 mini boxes loaned to you by Sky. You can watch Sky content on two minis and the main box at the same time. You may be able to use a third mini box if the first one in use is being used for a streaming app ie: Netflix or DIsney+. It’s worth mentioning that UHD content can’t be viewed on a mini box.

Be aware the original 1TB (non-UHD) Sky Q box only allows one mini to be in use. To check if you have the non UHD 1TB box check in:-
Home - Settings - System Info - Hardware Version
If it shows as 32Cxxx then you have a non UHD 1TB that only supports 1 active mini box.

All 2TBs and the UHD/HDR 1TB permit two mini boxes. 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.
