they fitted 2 boosters to get my Q multi room to work. they blame it on my BT internet, but it only had to go 10 ft and a stud wall. now there is 2 boosters, 1 above each box in the attic. it needs a couple of ariels on them, caus signal is pathetic

UPDATE - Sky have requested the spare box back. Also, they are somehow able to tell how many are in use and limit it to the number you are paying for. I can connect up the spare one in another room and I can use it but ONLY when the other one if switched off. If I try use it when it’s on it brings up a message saying “Maximum Sky Q Mini boxes in use”.
@Ghost - this means if you’re not paying for any then getting one will be useless I’d say.

What bigger box?

There’s a 2tb box (larger) that allows you to watch up to 3 mini boxes plus the 2tb box
Standard box allows 2 minis to be watched (you can have as many minis as you like but only 2 plus the main box work at the same time)
Sky Q multiroom is £12 p/m extra regardless of how many mini boxes you have, not per box...and each additional box is a one off £100 payment
Sky are looking at having every mini box working at any time but this will be a software version upgrade with date yet to be confirmed

So at the minute, even if you pay the £12 per month and then £200 for two extra boxes it still only allows you to watch one of those mini boxes at any one time?

No, £12 per month allows you to watch your main box and up to 2 minis at the same time, essentially 3 TVs all with different viewing options..... I have 4 minis, in order to watch 2 plus the main box (which is always on and provides the “hub” of the system, I have to have the other 2 in standby mode) any 2 can be on at any time
The larger capacity “hub” box allows 3 minis to work ..... you add as many minis as you like at £100 each ..... the old multiroom was £12 per month per box so £144 per year.... so each mini saves you £44 pa over the old system

You seem to be clued up on these. If I use a spare mini box I have here and try to connect it to a new Sky Q main box in a house that isn’t paying the £12 per month multiroom subscription, will it work? Or can they tell that I’m connecting a mini box and shouldn’t be allowed it?
I got fed up with being messed around on ebay for a second mini box so paid Sky the £99 for the "installation" since the box is loaned to the customer. The only downside side is I have to wait until December for an engineer visit on a box I can install in seconds.
Well I have mine installed by Sky in December lol not want you wanted but second hand boxes were selling for more than the £99 sky charge to install.
None on ebay or gumtree. I wonder if sky are cracking down on these boxes being sold - they actually own them, not the customer
