Sky q mini & streaming videos on demand

Hello,

 

When streaming on demand content on a mini box, does the mini connect directly to the router and stream/download directly or does it stream via the main sky q box?

In other words;

router>main box>mini  Or  router>mini ?

Hi @kezzo 

If you are referring to on demand or catch up then these are first downloaded to the main box & then streamed to the mini from it.

 

If you are referring about the apps then if your home wifi is not SKY then it all goes through the main box as the minis only connect to your main box via a WiFi network generated by the main box.

 

If your WiFi is SKY  or the minis are connected via ethernet I am afraid personally I am not sure

Do the mini's need to be connected to a router?
