Sky puck versatility

Yo,

I have a sky glass tv, looking to get sky on other tvs in the house.

If I get one puck, does it just supply sky tv to one tv? And is the puck moveable? I have a summerhouse where we would like to set up sky aswell, do I need another puck for that too?

It also says you can connect tablets to it aswell, are these able to connect in general just when you're in the vicinity of the WiFi?

Yes

Yes

Or move one from the house, but there has to be sufficient network connection.

Tablets do not connect to Stream.

A Sky Stream puck plugs into any TV in your home with a HDMI port. 
You can easily move a puck to another TV, but you will have to take the power supply and/or hdmi cable with it.

For the other TV you could get another hdmi cable, but make sure you have a high speed hdmi cable, if you want to leave the Sky original one with your other TV.

 

Probably best though really, just to buy ( one off fee, see below) another Puck.

 

You can watch on up to six Sky Stream pucks at the same time.

To watch on multiple Sky Stream pucks, you'll need the Whole Home monthly subscription.

Each Sky Stream puck has a one-off set-up fee of £39.95.

You can buy up to four Sky Stream pucks per order and order the others once those four are all activated, by your MySky account.

 

If you wish to watch Sky on your tablets/phones at home or away you would use the Sky Go app.

With the Whole Home pack you can also watch on four devices at the same time on the Sky Go app and on your games console.

 

Sky recommended minimum broadband speed is 25Mbps.
Or 30Mbps if you add an extra Sky Stream puck or to watch in UHD.
