Re: Hi sky I have 2 mini boxes and can only watch 1
If you have the original (non-UHD) 1TB main Sky Q box then that's expected behavior.
You'd need to get this swapped for a current Q box: either a refurbished UHD 2TB or the current UHD 1TB.
Note that the v1 2TB can do UHD but not HDR.

hi @Laurzr81
if you have one of the older 1TB non UHD main boxes then unfortunately it does only support one active minis - all others support a max of 2.
To check look in
Home - Settings - System Info - Hardware Version
If it is 32Cxxx then you have this older 1TB non-UHD Box
If you have one of these you can upgrade but SKY will probably charge an upgrade fee (they seem to charging £99 - even though in the past they have charged less for Self installs)
