If you have multiple Sky remotes on stream, will they interfere?

I have multiple remotes for Sky Stream which I'm about to install. Will they interfere with each other, and can you group them into one distribution system and still control them by remote like you used to do with the IR control on the old boxes?

Hi @DarrenrLong 

 

Sky stream remotes work via Bluetooth not IR so a distribution system won't work. Plus there is no RF out. This also means you can only have one remote connected via Bluetooth and working with voice commands etc.

 

You can have a second remote in IR mode but voice control will not work.

 

If you want to watch on more than one TV you need to get more boxes from sky and subscribe to whole home. See: https://www.sky.com/help/articles/watching-sky-in-different-rooms-sky-glass
