Mini box without multi room?
Hi, my Mum who lives on her own would like to be able to watch Sky on either of her 2 TVs. She doesn't need to have them both showing different channels, she just wants the option of which room to watch TV in.
Is this possible with a mini box without paying the extra for a multi room subscription? Or is there another solution?
Thanks in advance!

Like the main box the mini box would be loaned to her and does need a monthly Multiscreen subscription. Multiscreen undiscounted is currently £15pm I believe.

No: a potential solution is a Sky Stream puck to move from one television set to the other (assuming adequate broadband and WiFi is available) but this cannot be subscribed to in the same household as Sky Q.
Alternatively the same NowTV subscription could be on two smart television sets or devices attached to them.

HDMI transmitters/receivers - but are notoriously difficult to get a compatible one. Have look over the forum and see if anyone has found a working set.
