Please can you expand on what you mean by synchronise to be the same - are you missing some apps on the mini or do you mean save having to login separately or something else ?

Hi thanks for responding.

I would like the apps on the mini box to be the same as on the main box. I only have 2 apps on the mini and about 10 on the main box

hi @Webbydog

Please see this link to check/ refresh apps

Follow the steps on this link (skipping any that are OK):
https://www.sky.com/help/articles/apps-on-sky-q-and-glass-basic-checks

Please note that the step to refresh apps often does not action immediately and may take several hours before it does

Do you mean that you can't put in the user name and password into the app or they are not logined in. If it is the latter you have to log again to the app on the mini box they will not be loged in just because they are on you main box

yes they are not logged in with username & password on the sky mini.

i will log in on the mini using the same username & passwords for each app ( the same as they are on the main sky box.

many thanks for your help
