Multi room connectivity - Too many boxes?

[Johno4]

We have numerous Sky Q boxes throughout a large house, but we often get a message stating 'too many boxes being used. Put others on standby' (or something like that). Any thoughts?

hi @Johno4 

You may already know but just in case you don't - you can use a maximum of 2 minis at the same time for SKY content - Satellite/Recordings- (only one if you have the non UHD box - Hardware version 32Cxxx) although you can have up to 4 on the account

You may be able to use more at the same time if the first ones in use are only being used for Streaming apps such as Netflix or Disney+

Many thanks for that. Am just trying to research it and it appears you are correct. Thanks for taking the time to respond.
