  • Install a Sky Q minibox in their bedroom so they don't have to come downstairs. 
  • The MSE answer would be to cancel Sky completely.

    Fit a burglar alarm with PIR's across the downstairs area that auto-arms at midnight and auto-disarms at 6am. (Or timings to suit). That'd soon stop people wandering downstairs in the middle of the night.

    How would it?

    Won't it just go off noisily when they go downstairs?
    I want to go back to The Olden Days, when every single thing that I can think of was better.....

    Yes - and that's why they'd no longer go downstairs.

    To be honest if the 'teenager' is that disobedient and disrespectful, there is little that can be done except physically removing the box, as already suggested.
