AIUI, you can stream your recordings and VOD to your tablet or smartphone from the main Sky Q box.

After I asked the question, he did say that when this is activated, "you'll be able to stream anywhere in the house".

Yes, with Sky Q you can stream recordings or live TV to up to 2 mini boxes and 2 tablets at the same time, with no impact on recordings.

You can already stream recordings and On Demand from V6 to the iOS version of the TV Anywhere app. I have done so to my iPad Mini.
What is missing is an updated version of the Android TV Anywhere app with this function, I think.

I guess they mean the MAC address which will identify your box on the network as every box has different address. All networked devices such as phones, computers, tablets etc. have a unique MAC address.

Ahhh right. He seemed to think that it hadn't been enabled at all yet.

My tablets are Android (not that the engineer who called me knew this) so I guess it won't work anyway. TV Anywhere certainly doesn't

Can you stream VOD? Maybe they don't think this to be necessary as you could do this with your tablet anyway.

It's not a function I would actually use, preferring to use TiVo/V6 to record programs to watch on our TV but I believe there are restrictions in channels and/or programs. As to the current list of restrictions - pass.

The page with MRS restrictions has gone. Could it be there are none now?

I think it streams them direct, without going through the Sky Q box.

The app on the iPad/iPhone looks exactly like the interface on the main box. There are options to download a show to the main box or to the iPad/iPhone or to "watch online".

For VOD (not recordings, which you can only access when at home, or if you download to your iPad/iPhone while at home), the options are exactly the same whether connected to your home network or to 3G/4G, so I suspect the stream is direct to the tablet/phone.
