notdunroaming Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 Hello everyone, we always take our Sky digi box away in our motorhome. It is the Sky+ one. It is now getting pretty old and we are thinking we may have to replace with the updated Sky Q box, but we are concerned whether it will work as well in the motorhome. Does anyone use the new Sky Q box in their motorhome and if so, is it ok? Of course we only have one LNB on the van, but that’s no problem, we only watch one channel at a time! Your comments would be much appreciated. Regards Diane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyboyprowler Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 I am not 100% sure, but is Sky Q only internet based? If you have wifi on your van, the easier solution is a fire stick, or an internet TV box, and that will work wherever you travel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PJM Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 Sky Q still uses the satellite signal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adiebt Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 We take our SkyQ box away with us ( we had a new LNB fitted , cost £100 fitted and the max view box updated , it now shows SkyQ on the satellite display ) . Can still record etc but catch up not available without WiFi , haven’t tried to pair with phone hotspot yet but can’t think why it wouldn’t . Got fire stick as back up .

derek500 Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Sky Q and Sky+ use different types of LNB. We've had Sky Q since 2016, but we kept our Sky+ box and pair the viewing card with that when we're using the van. When we changed boxes we were told by RoadPro that it wasn't possible to replace the twin LNB on our Mecatronic automatic system to a wideband version used by Sky Q. Perhaps that's changed four years later? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
