Sky Stream - multiroom?

[slipd]

Hi guys,

How does Sky Stream work if needed in more than one room? Currenlty on Sky Q with 2x mini boxes but Stream seems to be the future and it would meen getting rid of the external dish/additional wiring etc.

Thanks.

With Sky Q, the main Sky Q box is the 'master' and the mini-boxes all stream content from the master box over the local WiFi network. The miniboxes are limited to 1080 HD quality though, so even if a recording or programme is in 4K quality on the master box, it will only play in HD quality on the mini boxes.

Sky Stream, by comparison, all the Sky Stream boxes are client devices that stream content over your internet connection - there is no master box, no local recordings. All the boxes work independently of one another, save things like Playlists being synchronised across the Stream boxes via your Sky account.

All the Stream boxes can stream content in 4K as long as they are plugged into a 4K TV, the content available is in 4K, you pay for the UDH/Atmos add on and your internet connection can support it.
