SkyQ how many mini boxes can I have

[127Stuart]

Hi all, I have a question for you; how many mini-boxes can I have IN ADDITION to my main box?

You can have a maximum of 4 mini boxes loaned to you by Sky. You can watch Sky content on two minis and the main box at the same time. You may be able to use a third mini box if the first one in use is being used for a streaming app ie: Netflix or DIsney+.

Be aware the original 1TB (non-UHD) Sky Q box only allows one mini to be in use. To check if you have the non UHD 1TB box check in:-
Home - Settings - System Info - Hardware Version
If it shows as 32Cxxx then you have a non UHD 1TB that only supports 1 active mini box.

All 2TBs and the UHD/HDR 1TB permit two mini boxes. Each mini box which is loaned to you may be subject to a one off upfront charge but you only need one Sky Q monthly Multiscreen subscription.

hi @127Stuart 

Yes you can have up to 4 minis on your account (each additional one is likely to incur an admin fee, even though they are loaned)

As @Daniel0210 's notes you can only use 2  minis at one time for SKY content (only 1 if you have the 1TB non UHD box)

No one who knows their stuff would include the main box when they use the term minis, so yes.
