Basically, I want a main box for my downstairs TV and three mini boxes for sets upstairs.
I'm confused about the Sky offering, it allows you to have up to four mini boxes but says you can only use multi screen on 3 TVs, which would equate to 2 mini boxes (wouldn't it?)
Anyone on here clarify please ?
Cheers Nick, that's what I'm thinking, eg; Four TVs enabled but can only watch on three, simultaneously.
It's ridiculous sky couldn't believe that more than two people could be watching different things
Being really dull here, but if I did have three minis, and I got the 2TB could 3 people watch different things and the fourth have to watch what one of the others is watching, or does the fourth box (3rd mini) just become redundant ?
to be fair, I can not think of a situation were i would have 4 people in four different rooms watching 4 different channels, even in the largest of families
If you've got the 2TB box you can watch on the main box, 2 mini boxes and 2 tablets simultaneously.
Maybe the 4th person could watch on a tablet via the Sky Go app when need be ?
Would be rare in my house, downstairs, my room and then my daughter and nieces would all watch the same, if my nephew was round then they wouldn't watch the same so would need the 4 on...very rare mind..and if they are all here then there's tablets etc too.
Still shouldn't dictate to people though if they fork out.
Since I had to ask the question in post #8, then clearly I am not as well informed as Nick. Nick has taken an informed consumer choice to buy equipment from a company, and then to be restricted in how he uses the equipment that he has paid for because the company chooses to restrict it (and not for any specific reason, as far as I can see, though hopefully Nick will help me out).
I looked at Sky Q a while ago and, while it looked nice and shiny, it still feels rather outdated. It also feels a little bit dictatorial in comparison with, say, Netflix who have few restrictions, if any, at all.
