@TimmyBGood I have sky Q , I have 2 boxes. 1 in living room and 1 in bedroom. Distance to house is 10 metres. Distance to sky dish is 8 metres. I have electric outside.

The main Q box (for UHD) requires a satellite feed which is harder to achieve. It's also not impossible to run HDMI cable from an existing box to a different location but there are distinct distance limits.
