Hey

We have had sky+ and HD for ages. The setup was the sky+ box in the main room using a really old box that must have been pushing 5-6 years old. In the other room there was a sky HD box with multi room package etc.

Now the main box seems to have give up, so rang sky who said they would change the main box over for a SkyQ 2 box with a mini. I asked if this requires the internet or can it still work with the dish, as the internet here is 2Mbps due to distance. The guy on the phone who I could hardly understand, said yes it will work via the dish fine.

I also asked if the current Sky HD box in the other room will still work with the new SkyQ box and they said yes "No problem", "No worries". I dont think he fully understood me!

Has anyone got a similar setup who can confirm is this would work?

So in short can there be a Sky Q box in the main room and the sky hd box in the other without the need to use the skyq mini?
 
So that room will need to use a Mini then? Does that stream via the internet or just use the internal wireless?

Sounds like I might be best getting a refurb box online to replace the old one? I can always ring tomorrow and cancel the change.
 
I might just do that. I see a 500G box for sale near me so if I can get that I might cancel the appointment for sky q install.
