Moving TV that is the main connection to the " mother box"

[Terry+1959]

Hi all, i have several sky q boxes around the house, with the main box in the living room and conencted to the TV via a scart. Problem i have is my wife wanst to move the position of the TV but the cables are not long enough. Can i move the televsion to a different part of the room, not connected to the sky q box and access by wireless or does the " mother sky q " need to be connected to a television ?

HI @Terry+1959 

the SKY Box must be connected to a TV via an HDMI Cable (or possibly Scart if that is really what you are using)

Do you really mean via a Scart or do you mean HDMI as the options may be slightly different

You can get Satellite Extension leads from the likes of Amazon, in various lengths - you need twin cable for SKY - but many are that. This would let you move the box alingside your TV

Do you Have Sky Q @Terry+1959 

Or Sky+HD?

[Terry+1959]

I have sky q

Does it work if I have two sky boxes in the living room.

The first is connected to the two leads that come into the room from the dish and then connect another sky q box to the television that i have moved.

Hi @Terry+1959   The confusion is you mentioned Scart, and the Sky Q box doesn't have a Scart connection.

Hi @Terry+1959   Yes you can leave the Main Sky Q box connected to the satellite and connect your TV to a Sky Q Mini box. You may have to connect a TV to the Main box occasionally for maintenance. Obviously you will be limited to HD.

Do you already have the second box & is that connected to the TV ?

If that is what you have you can just move the mini box with the TV

If you don't already have a mini box you need to be aware, that in addition to a one-off mini box admin fee you also need an ongoing Multiscreen subscription
