I personally had a Silver box installed and 2 minis, I had to go mid way through install, but came back to a fully functional set up. I have him my SSID and he seems to have set it all up wirelessly (non-sky broadband customer). All the boxes I have have a cover on the ethernet port which tells you to go to sky.com/ethernet.
Got powerline adaptors all over the house for roku/android tv/Amazon tv plex usage so I can use that if I start to get problems but although i was concerned about the very back room its getting signal, is quick AND the picture looks better than it ever did on the 2TB box that was in there before. Ill see how that route goes for other people first. Ive no real need to both atm since its all working well.
Got the guy to install a new dish though as we had 4 sets of wires which can now be used for freesat if necessary. Installer was a good guy. Did me a set of cables from my wall plate in white, a set in black AND gave me some spare cable of each.
Little nitpick. Silver... More like chrome. Looks silver from a distance though.
BONUS: Looks like there is an easy open hatch on the bottom to replace the hdd too.
Question. Anyone else get an extra remote? Ive got the new one and the newer mini style remote for my silver box and 2 of the latter again, 1 for each mini box. Just wanted to know if that was standard or a fortunate mistake...
