Hi everyone, I'm new to EE TV.  I have only one TV at my home, but I have an EE Mini Box too.  Can I use it at a second property?

Yep, it has to be connected to an EE Broadband line with the right subscription due to the way the channels are delivered.

You can watch NOW content, discovery+, Netflix etc. on any suitable device whoever you pay and a cheap Fire TV stick also includes a "live TV" section which will stream live channels from iPlayer, Channel 4, My5 and itvX plus a few others, so is quite handy to have as a portable device.

I am sure it is buried in the Terms & Conditions that you can't, but on a more practical level, for a EE TV mini box to show live TV it needs to be connected to an EE Broadband line which has the correct subscription (it checks as it connects to the WiFi).

You could take it elsewhere, connect to anyones WiFi and get the apps to work, but then you could just buy a cheap Fire TV stick and do that via the apps like NOW and discovery+.

TL:DR Depends on your use case. Live TV? No, apps, yes.

@Profile closed Thank you, looks like a non-starter then, I guess I'd be able to access (for example) the NOW app, but not any of the channels I pay for at home.
