All Live channels are received over satellite, only On Demand arrives over broadband and will work with any provider.

I only ask as on the internet some people are saying that you lose the sky+ functionality and I don't want to get a new box as l have a home network set up with rf2 and magic eyes.

@Norbitnellie I wouldn't beleive everything you read online.

As advised as your TV service is delivered over satellite nothing will change in regards to that. You would only lose Sky+ functionality if you cancelled your TV subs.

@Norbitnellie you will, of course, have to update your Sky box's network settings to match those of the new broadband Hub you get for fibre, just as you would with any other device connected over wifi. If you don't do that, then yes, you'll lose all On Demand functionality.

If your Sky box is connected via ethernet cable, you shouldn't have to update anything.

Thanks for your answers my sky+hd box is currently connected to a sky router with an Ethernet cable, so I would be able to do this with a new full fibre router and everything should work fine? I've been offered an upgrade to full fibre but I'm just concerned that my sky +hd box might not work with it.

@Norbitnellie

Your Sky box will work with any broadband product so full fibre will be fine.
