If you have an a sky q hub they will ask you to return it to them as it is only on loan to you. You don't actually own it

@Abdnpete Using 2 hubs would be extremely problematic even assuming you get them both to work, best to invest in network switches and access points if needed. Both are relatively inexpensive and can give much greater flexibility for exepansion.

@peter-marlow+1966 I believ from some info that customers are not being asked to return Q hubs, most likely as they are being superseded by the newer hubs.

Sky isn't necessarily insisting on Q Hubs being returned now: they are all obsolete by the end of next year anyway as they don't support Sky Talk Internet Calls, and so shouldn't be going out to new subscribers any more.
