Not easily. Q boxes require HDCP (which is part of HDMI).

@WorriedSkyuser Perhaps a nice gesture, but not much use with Sky Q I suspect, maybe that's why they got rid of it.

@WorriedSkyuser

You'd need an HDMI to analogue (component) converter, and then input to either RCA or SCART on the television set: both would be less than HD resolution.
