If you already have a smart TV, then you’re sorted. Simply plug it in and watch your favourite shows.

However, if you specifically want to watch them on a TV screen in more than one room, then the easy answer is to turn your second TV into a smart TV by investing in some streaming tech such as the Roku or the Amazon Fire Stick. All these apps can be watched on almost any screen, from a large TV to a smartphone. If you tend to watch a lot of subscription TV streaming services, such as Netflix, NOW TV and Amazon Prime Video, rather than live channels on Freeview, then you probably don’t need to sign up to a multiscreen service at all.

The BT TV Box Pro Mini does not offer the option to record TV, but you can pause and rewind and watch in 4K HDR, just like on the main box. Unlike Sky and Virgin Media, BT customers are limited to only adding one extra box. BT’s extra box service costs £10 per month on top of your subscription package. Both the main box and the mini version connect to your BT broadband via wifi so there is no need for cabling or even an aerial. You can also stream TV live and catch up on shows you’ve missed, as well as being able to set programmes to record while you are away from home.īT has recently upgraded its TV boxes and now offers the BT TV Box Pro as its main box, and the BT TV Box Pro Mini for customers that want to watch their BT TV subscription on a second TV. However, unlike the Sky Q Mini, they do not work as wifi boosters.īoth a Sky Multiscreen subscription and a Sky Whole Home subscription include Sky Go Extra, which enables you to watch Sky on four additional devices, including when you are away from home.
Like the Sky Q Mini boxes, the Sky pucks do not require a cabled connection and will work over wifi. Sky Stream is viewed on a puck as standard, so if you sign up for Whole Home you will receive a second puck to connect to a second TV. Sky Glass comes with Sky’s TV service built in, so if you sign up for Whole Home you will be provided with one puck for connecting to a separate TV. Whole Home costs an additional £12 per month on top of your Sky TV package. Whole Home customers will be provided with one additional puck (a small, square TV receiver box) on which to watch Sky TV in a second room, rather than a Sky Q Mini. If you want Sky Glass or Sky Stream rather than Sky Q, Sky offers what it calls Whole Home instead of Multiscreen. Like Sky Q boxes, Sky Q Mini boxes remain the property of Sky and are loaned to you – you'll need to give them back if you leave Sky. Handily, they also work as wifi boosters and can improve the wireless signal around your home. Without a strong enough wifi signal they will need to be connected to the main box with an ethernet cable. Sky Q Mini boxes can function wirelessly with a sufficiently good wifi signal so you can easily set them up around your house. Assuming your package and TV both support HD, you can watch shows in HD on a Mini box, but not UHD.

You can watch your main Sky Q box plus two Sky Q Mini boxes at the same time. You can connect up to four Mini boxes in total, but you cannot watch TV on all of them at once.

The first Sky Q Mini box is free but additional Mini boxes will cost you £99. To have Sky Multiscreen with Sky Q, you will need a Sky Q Mini box and to subscribe to Sky Multiscreen which costs an extra £15 per month on top of your Sky TV subscription pack. With Sky now offering three different ways of watching TV, the multiroom option you need will depend on the technology you have chosen: Sky Q, Sky Glass or Sky Stream. The coaxial cable that brings your Virgin signal into your home is needed for the Mini boxes as well as your main 360 box. The Virgin Media 360 Mini boxes do require a cabled connection in order to work however.
The 360 Mini boxes do not offer recording capability, but you can watch any shows that you recorded on your main 360 box. With 1TB of storage, you can record up to 500 hours of shows in SD or 100 hours in HD. Virgin's main TV 360 box can record six shows while you watch a seventh, should you ever want to. Those with the Ultimate Volt package will have one free Mini box included as part of their subscription.

They are even 4K and HDR ready so you can enjoy Full HD picture quality (subject to having a 4K TV of course).Ĭustomers get a first Mini 360 for an extra £10 per month, and can then request a second Mini box for an extra £5 per month. These allow you to watch all the channels you have as part of your Virgin TV subscription, as well as on demand shows and apps. You can get up to two Virgin TV 360 Mini boxes with Virgin Media multi-room.
