Officially, no. EE will not supply more than 1 TV Box Pro on a single account. If you obtained one from elsewhere (note: they're not sold separately, so any you find for sale could be classed as stolen), then it would work but wouldn't be supported.

So if I bought one of eBay it would work as a second box but could I use a mini box as well if I bought one

You can request up to 2 TV Box Minis for free in addition to the TV Box Pro - allowing up to 3 boxes to be used on the same account. If you then used a second TV Box Pro instead of one of the supplied TV Box Minis then it would work - as long as you don't use more than 3 boxes in total. If you do try to use a 4th box, it'll force the subscription to be pulled back and forth between boxes each time you use them.

We have 2 pro boxes and a mini box all supplied by ee however it states that there are too many boxes connected to the broadband! How can this be?

@Gibbs48 Have you ever factory reset one of them boxes?

Re: multi room

Gibbs48 — Sat, 24 Aug 2024 15:01:42 GMT

No these both brand new boxes sent from ee. If we try watching at the same time it states too many boxes connected to the broadband.

@Yvonnebrownell You can have 2 from EE.

@Yvonnebrownell @Chris_B

But things have changed since @DarrenDev‘s March posting, and a third box is now a subscription offering, no longer free, as that offer has expired.

@Midnight_Voice I’ve literally just gone through an order process too see what I could have. Finally got to the EE TV options.

Still says 2 extra boxes and on this alone you get 2 without charge. Regardless of what it is now. You’re purchasing this based on the information provided even if that information is now incorrect

Best clear this order information now before my neighbour gets a new EE BB/TV install. Lol.

@Chris_B

IANAL, but I read the first mention as saying what you can have at all, and the highlighted mention as saying ‘one free, but a second one is chargeable’.

The standard prices

https://ee.co.uk/content/dam/help/terms-and-conditions/price-plans/home/ee-monthly-home-price-guide-ess-all-rounder-30-july-2024.pdf

are £10 one extra box and £20 two extra boxes per month.

most new EE TV customers do not pay standard prices but sign up to an Offer.

When first launched that was upto two extra mini boxes free , since then the offer has changed to one extra box free and the second chargeable. So you have to consider whatever the current offer EE has at the time of your order.

Note that there are also standard activation and delivery charges, Again you may or may not get these waived or discounted as part of the offer.

That's annoying. Was just going between SKY Multi and EE multi - EE was winning. Now it's actually £10 a month for 2 minis.

Hi @caerdydd,

Welcome to the EE Community

You can have 2 additional EE TV box mini's added to your TV package as well as your main EETV Box pro or Apple TV box. If you wish to add them you would just need to give us a call on 150 from an EE mobile or 07953 966 150 from any phone.

How do I go around getting a mini for free I already have a main box but want one for bedroom

Re: multi room

DarrenDev — Sat, 07 Feb 2026 02:19:06 GMT

@Hawkes1999 the offers for a free mini ended last year. The cost to add one depends on your subscription.

So the early adoptees of EETV (on EE broadband ) that had the up to two free boxes offer from launch would I believe now have finished their initial two year minimum term - are they now paying for any extra boxes ?
