Sky in shed

[Lyn32]

I am wanting to put sky in my shed I have Sky Q in my house

can this be done please

Depends how far away your shed is to do it wirelessly.

[Lyn32]

Thankyou it's about 12 Mtrs from main house

[PandJ2020]

Probably too far.

Do you currently have a Q mini?

[Lyn32]

No I don't 

would that work if I got one 

thankyou

[Lyn32]

Thankyou

No I don't have a Q mini

Hi @Lyn32   

You would need a Multiscreen subscription (full price £15 a month) and a Mini box. Don't assume that a Mini box automatically comes with a Multiscreen subscription, request one at the same time. May cost you £50 admin fee on the loan.

Unless you have Sky broadband, the distance is from the Sky Q Main box to the new Mini box that matters. You may have to run a Cat5e+ cable between the Main box and Mini if the WiFi doesn't reach.

Thankyou so much for that information I do have sky broadband so I'll call them to get multi room and a mini box 

hopefully that will work

thanks again Lyn

Hi @Lyn32   Note it is called Multiscreen. Multi room is/was an old Sky+HD term. Does the Sky WiFi work in the shed?

[Lyn32]

Important to note that if the conversion involves foil-laminated foam insulation, as is typical, you might well find that WiFi which worked before this was put in doesn't do so afterwards.  Running ethernet cable in with a mains power connection is almost always preferable to wireless over a distance and through external walls.
