Basic Help, please

[Ke]

At the moment I have 2 x Sky+HD boxes, 2 x Viewing Cards, one upstairs and one down.

We live on Jersey CI, so can't get Sky Broadband, and ours is very iffy.

We want to get a SkyQ Wi-Fi box for downstairs, 

Does this box also plug into current Dish as well as Internet. ?

Is there any known problems to keeping 1 x Sky+HD Box and 1 x SkyQ box ?

Thank you for your help

A Sky Q box replaces the Sky+HD set up and an engineer will make a slight change to the LNB on your satellite dish. You'd need one main Sky Q box and a Sky Q mini box for the other TV. This will require a Multiscreen subscription too so remember to ask for a mini box and Multiscreen. Also remember both boxes would be loaned to you and have to be returned as and when you cancel.

hi @Ke 

You may be better looking for a second hand box on ebay etc.

As @Daniel0210  says SKY Q totally replaces SKY HD & you can't have both SKY Q & SKY HD

May I suggest you also read some notes I have put together for people thinking of moving from SKY HD to SKY Q - see especially my references regarding recordings only being made on the main box & no separation or User prfofile system.

SKY HD to Q

Just to thank everyone who toook the trouble to reply / answer my question, really appreciate your help.

I am staying with 2 seperate Sky+HD boxes, and will save for new Smart TV.
