Nextflix Standard (2 screens) - can one be a different location?

Just signed up today for Sky Stream. Explained that with our current Netflix we pay for an extra person so my mother in law can watch at her house. Sky rep offered to add an extra screen for a small increase in cost. But, I've since been looking this up, it doesn't sound like the 2 screen option for Netflix on Sky allows for a different location? If so, this won't be of use to us and will have to cancel.

To clarify, the subscription is Sky Stream with Netflix + 1 extra Netflix screen (Netflix Standard I think it's called).

@Exiled-in-HH is correct: Netflix bundled by Sky does not include the Extra Member feature. Netflix Standard permits two screens in simultaneous use but those screens must be within what Netflix designates as the same household.

Under Netflix own t&C's you can't share your log-in details with another household but if you're visiting somewhere or have a holiday home and you can prove it was you, it's fine to use them elsewhere.

Netflix account sharing is possible using a Netflix extra location subscription.

 

I do not believe Sky support Netflix  extra location account sharing. It is only available when subscribing direct with Netflix?

Not through Sky you can't, it can be done direct with netflix as per the posts above.

Like you I'm a customer here, Sky Employees are clearly identified as such.
