    Sky Q and additional smart TV over wifi or ethernet

    I had a call today from a Sky sales rep offering big discounts on SlyQ 1T package, no set up fees, no install, free equipment and discounted subs.

    I asked about multi-room and she suggested there's no need to pay for skyQ mini (is that the multi-room box?) but instead said I can connect my smart TV over wifi to the Q box, thereby saving money

    now this rep was offshore so I found the conversation hard going but from what I fathomed, presumably she meant using the smart tvs DNLA to connect to the Q box???

    has anyone got any experience with this? have it got that right?

    I can't see it personally. I'm guessing she means via the app on your tablet/iPads etc.

    yes you are right. the woman was convincing until I dug deeper during a second conversation and she then went on hold to speak with a colleague. when she returned she said the smart phone app would connect to the Q box and then a hard wired hdmi from the phone to my TV... really !!! (very deceiving )
