Hi,
I'm currently using my Sky Stream at my address with my EE mobile broadband WiFi which runs off 5g. Absolutely no problems whatsoever even in uhd. I'm just wondering that if the Puck is linked to wifi- if I take the mobile WiFi with me to my friends house that it won't register as being at another house. As long as I can get a good mobile broadband signal wherever I am using it.
Does this make sense and sound feasible?

It is meant to be used at the registered adddress only, to view channels at another location you can use Sky Go.

Secondly, the Sky Stream box does a number of location and ip checks that will determine if the Sky Stream device is being used in a new unauthorised location. It will a combination of these to flag a fail.
For example, as well as a broadband connection, wan ip swapping, along with any other activated Sky devices (another puck or SkyGlass TV, if you have them) used at your home being in a different network and the use of device gps location to show the device is being used in another location.
