Sky Q with Multiroom - number of concurrent streams of Sky Sports+ red button matches

[JimnyBillyBob100]

I've got Sky Q with Multiroom and Sky Sports and I was wanting to know how many concurrent streams of different Sky Sports+ red button matches can be watched at the same time?

And if people are watching different games on the Sky Q and Sky Mini boxes, do they count towards the number of streams allowed, or are they in addition to the number allowed on iPads etc?

Thanks for any assistance.

Hi @JimnyBillyBob100 

You can have up to four minis installed on loan each subject to a one off upfront charge and all under by one single Q monthly Multiscreen subscription
However only two minis can be used simultaneously on all 2 TB boxes and the 1 TB UHD Main boxes to watch Sky Q content.
The original 1 TB non UHD box (32Cxxx) only permits the use of one mini at a time.
If Sky Apps are already being used on some of the minis these will not normally be counted as in Q use and therefore can be used in addition to the above limits.
See the following link for the Versions of main Q box referred to above.
https://www.sky.com/help/articles/sky-software-updates.
Subject to the above limits Sky Q minis can be used completely independently of the main Q box and the same or different program or recording can be viewed on each Q box. Even if viewing the same content it is completely independent and can be viewed at the same or different point.
Minis can do all the features same as the main Q box and can set or delete recordings on the main Q box hard drive. There is one single storage area on the main Q box with no profiles and no indication of which Q box has set a recording. (Unlike Sky+HD Multiroom which has independent storage and planners).
It should also be remembered that minis cannot view UHD recordings or content.

You can stream subject to above limits of mini use

Hi @oldfella , many thanks, appreciate the speedy and detailed reply. I've got one of the original Sky Q boxes and one Sky Mini. I'm mainly thinking about the number of Sky Sports+ streams I can do on iPads as well, potentially when we're away from home.

Does anyone know how many different Sky Sports+ streams I can have running at the same time? I've got 6 devices registered for Sky Go viewing, but as the football is shown on the Sky Sports app, I'm not sure what the limit is for that app.

Appreciate any help.
