Hi
I am considering changing my TV supplier to Sky and I have a question.
Having an additional puck allows me to pause a TV channel (let's say BBC1) in one room and pick up BBC1 where I left off in the spare room.
Supposing I don't want to do that, but somebody else wants to watch another channel (ITV1) in the spare room whilst I'm downstairs on BBC1. Can I do that? I would expect so, but I want clarification.
Many thanks

You won't be able to pause a live channel then immediately pick up where you left on another device.
you will be able to utilise the continue watching rail by watching on demand and picking up where you left off

Re: Additional puck(s)
You would need the whole home subscription with sky but with that subscription you can have up to 3 sky glass tvs and 6 pucks in one house

Thanks, but the pause/resume thing isn't important. It's being able to have two Sky boxes (pucks) and watch footy while H.M. The Wife watches Corrie.

Absolutely possible, as long as you can supply sufficient broadband bandwidth to each puck to maintain a stable stream, particularly if watching in UHD.
