Can I use 2 TV PRO Boxes on the same Network?

Thinking of ditching VM Media because of high price and have a question recording the TV Pro Boxes. I notice there are several BT or EE recordable boxes for sale on Amazon and eBay, if I had and EE TV package with an EE supplied TV Pro box could I add another box purchased by me in a second TV room and record on both boxes?

Yes, it would work, but with the following caveats:

The TV Box Pro has never been offered for sale - any boxes you see for sale could be classed as stolen, as they remain the property of BT/EE at all times. If you leave BT/EE and keep your box, you're charged a fee - this isn't to buy the box, it's a fine for not returning it. It still remains the property of BT/EE.

Only one box can be used at a time for subscription channels/content, unless you add a multiroom subscription.

Thanks for your reply, it seems odd that Amazon Renewed are selling these boxes on open sale, are they the old BT branded ones being sold off perhaps?

Thinking of the Full works package with 500mb broadband and the free mini box, is this considered multi-room and then could I replace the mini with a Pro Box and record all subscribed channels on both?

Yes, taking the TV Box Mini and then using the Pro instead would work fine.

(Amazon Renewed isn't Amazon selling them - it's still other vendors using Amazon for distribution)
