It is advertised that Hisense televisions have freely installed. As I watch sky, I am trying to discover whether they have sky connector installed.

Providing it has an HDMI socket on the rear panel (I would be surprised if it didn't) you can connect a Sky set top box to the TV.

If you mean a satellite input as well as an arieal input it will be detailed in the description of the TV.

DVB-S is for satellite.

If it's sky stream any HD TV will do the job.

Hdmi inputs come as standard these days but not all manufacturers offer satellite inputs. Other freely tvs are Bush, Toshiba, Amazon and Panasonic for you to check their input connections.

Just an additional note, ensure the receiver/TV has the DVB-S2 standard, otherwise you will not be able to receive the majority of channels.

Depends what you mean by a 'Sky connector'. All Sky satellite boxes and Stream Pucks connect to TV's by HDMI. None have Sky built in (apart from Sky Glass).

@fazakerley

There's no app to receive a Sky-branded subscription channel service on any UK television set: Sky doesn't want the competition for Glass/Stream.

Recent Hisense models appear to have NowTV available, though.
