Hi @Sunflowers1 

Sky Q Minis are not capable of viewing UltraHD

I record both UHD and HD, just in case...

Now Then ... snap ... so how do you get a mini Q box that does support/play items that have been recorded on SKY Q kit

Simple fact @Now+Then 

Sky Q Minis will not handle Q content recorded on main Q box in UHD.

However they will play all other content that's been recorded in HD or SD

Yep  ... so when can I get a mini Q box that does  ... I'm not messing around sd / hd / full fat tv just because I might not get to watch the recording on the main box, pointless setting main box to full fat tv. 

when can i order up a mini SKY Q box that can handle a recoding made on a Sky Q box.

@Now+Then as @oldfella says if it has been recorded in UHD on the main box then no mini will be able to play it and I seriously doubt that Sky will release one you need to record in HD or SD to watch it on a mini 

I record F1 in both HD anf UHD jusxt incase i needc to watch on a mini
