How much does it cost to stream to more than 2 simultaneous devices on Sky Stream?

I'm interested in moving to sky stream but I can see that there is a limit of streaming to 2 simultaneous devices - I have a family of 5 so I'd need at least 3, maybe 4 simultaneous streams. How much extra would that cost?

To watch Sky in different rooms, you'll need the Whole Home monthly subscription and Sky Stream pucks.

You can Watch on up to six Sky Stream pucks at the same time.
Plus if if you have it or buy Sky Glass TVs, you can watch on three of those along with six pucks.

 

Also with the Whole Home pack you can watch on four devices at the same time on the Sky Go app and watch on your games consoles.

 

A one-off set-up applies fee for each extra Sky Stream puck. Normally that is £39.95 per each additional puck.

@CStreamer  The 2 stream limit is for sky go if you don't have whole home 

 

with stream the number of concurrent streams is 6 but that is only because you can only have a maximum of 6 pucks per account 

 

the cost would be £39 for each puck (first one may be free) + plus the monthly tv subscription and monthly whole home subscription 

 

one tv subscription and whole home subscription covers maximum 6 pucks and 3 glass tv

Note that you'll need a minimum of 100Mbs FTTP at the address for that, and preferably 150 or 500Mbs.  'Superfast' (FTTC) is unlikely to be adequate for a good experience.
