    Nice instruction video which i've tried to copy. Unfortunately I've found that the TV interferes with the box's signal with the main box and router. Any tips on how to avoid this?

      @@kiphakes thanks.. hope this is not too long winded ! Basically I’m having Sky Q installed in a couple of weeks, we have a touring caravan which I want to take sky box with me. In our previous caravan we had room for the old HD box and all the cables no problem however we have just changed van and have very little room in this one, Certainly can’t get 2 x coax cables any where near. My thoughts were to place the main Sky Q box at front of the van with power and coax from dish ( no tv ) and get the multi room box to fit on back of tv like you have which is in the middle of the caravan . Would this box just need HDMI and mains power ? We do have a router for internet, is this how the 2 boxes connect ?
      Many thanks
