Not easily.  Q boxes require HDCP (which is part of HDMI).

I am just another Sky customer and my views are my own even if you don't like the answers

@WorriedSkyuser Perhaps a nice gesture, but not much use with Sky Q I suspect, maybe that's why they got rid of it.

You'd need an HDMI to analogue (component) converter, and then input to either RCA or SCART on the television set: both would be less than HD resolution.
