No you can't. It's one TV subscription per postal address.

Nope: it's not a supported deployment model, and where it's been tried it horribly confuses the hardware to the point of non-functionality.
As @Daniel0210 indicates, Sky won't supply two main Q boxes to the same address anyway, and Q hardware sourced eleswhere is stolen and won't work.

Our HD + boxes are connected to 2 separate dishes!

Re: SkyQ how many mini boxes can I have
You still cannot legitimately possess two main Q boxes at a single address, and the crossover point is the local data network and internet connection, not the dish(es)
Given Q has been around for very nearly nine years, you're reasonably unlikely to discover a workaround which hasn't been tried before and is known not to work

Re: SkyQ how many mini boxes can I have
@Russell251 The closest to your present 10 DTTV television Sky+HD twin receiver setup when using Sky Q receivers would be to connect the main Sky Q receiver to a HDMI to terrestrial TV modulator to provide DTTV distribution of one Sky Q programme source and then connect the HDMI output from a Sky Q mini to a second HDMI to terrestrial TV modulator to provide DTTV distribution of a second Sky Q programme source.
Thus, each of your 10 terrestrial TVs could have a choice of the programmes being received on either your Sky Q main receiver, or your Sky Q mini receiver, with the option to even use a second Sky Q mini feeding an HDMI to DTTV modulator to provide a third Sky Q programme source.
