I'm using communal WiFi. Landlord has sky q. Now if I plug my q box in as it's on same network it stops his working saying maximum number of devices So I have to disconnect my box. If I swap to a sky stream puck will this work or will it still say maximum number of devices?

Cheers. I'll stick with q. Don't pay for my broad band so no advantage going for slightly cheaper stream then get hit with a broadband bill I never had before!

@hifiman2007 problem is that Sky have said before that using 2 main Q boxes on the same broadband connection can cause problems and it's not advisable
but there is no evidence that Sky Stream would be any better

yup. But the q box operates without need for WiFi. And I can at times connect it and download stuff when I know it won't affect landlords q. Stream requires a permanent WiFi connection so a big potential disadvantage.
