Sky Glass and use of it in 2nd holiday home

I am moving house soon.  I was thinking of moving to Sky glass but I also have a holiday home where I would currently take my main box and use whilst there.  If I move to Glass is this an option using a Puck?  Should I stay with Q or do I need a second subscription but I don't want another bill as I am only there for a short number of weeks each year.  It is only me that uses the Sky when at caravan or at home.  Any advice greatfully received.

Note that's a breach of Sky satellite television T&Cs

Hi @Biscuit3 

 

Additionally to what the others have posted, sky use active measures to check where Glass/Stream devices are being used.

 

See https://www.sky.com/help/articles/use-of-streaming-tv-subscription-outside-your-address#:~:text=You%....

 

They may impose additional charges or restrictions if detected. You could always consider using Sky Go while in your holiday home as this is permitted use.
