Hi @GARYT62 

Not possible I'm afraid.

Sky only allow one main Q box at a Sky  account address.

No physical way you can have two LNBs on a single dish. And Sky won't install 2 dishes at one property.

 

Also, is your caps lock key broken? 😉

Re: 2 LNB's on one dish

Ha ha just lazy changing upper/lower case keys . Have had previous issue with using Q-box and multi-room boxes 

as old house and thick walls . Even with signal booster the multiroom box would drop out continuosly .

Hence why i wanted 2 main boxes . Not sure way forward as tried using BT box and  not happy with it . Still have Sky Q box

in use in other part of house .

Thanks

Powerline adapters often the best bet, since running ethernet through those kinds of walls is no fun.

hi @GARYT62 

 

If you are unable to use ethernet between the main box & mini box, you could consider using Powerline adapters to provide network connectivity between them & not rely on wifi 

 

Edit : I see @Chodley also suggested these whilst I was typing

Q is now a decade old and approaching end of life: Stream is the current product for subscription television in multiple rooms (but relies on both sufficient broadband and either adequate WiFi or cabled connectivity)
