I received an email to upgrade to a sky q box. Please can you tell me what will be different having the sky q box. I would also like to know if I can keep my original box for upstairs.

I will cc in one of the other Superusers who has compiled a helpful guide for those thinking of transitioning from Plus to Q which may provide some insight into something you hadn't considered.

Essentially, no. Once Q is in place the Sky+ subscription ends, and Sky no longer fits hybrid LNBs to permit Sky+ hardware to receive free to air satellite service. Playback of Recordings and online use also ceases.
