Moving home and don't want dish!

Britestyle — Fri, 13 Dec 2024 11:08:44 GMT

I've bought a property and want sky tv at my new home when we eventually move in to it. I currently have a dish that when it rains, loses picture quality and sometimes picture completely. I was wondering if there is a new box that doesn't require a dish, that works directly using the internet and if so, does this equipment have a name?

Hi @Britestyle

You need Sky Stream.

...but it's quite a different product - there is no recording function.

@Britestyle If you opt for Sky stream you need to also ensure your broadband at the new address is sufficient:

Recommended minimum broadband speed of 25Mbps. Or 30Mbps if you add an extra Sky Stream puck or to watch in UHD.

Have a look at the FAQs here as it should answer most questions.
