Sky Q works via a dish so you'll not be able to use Sky Q.
There's streaming option but this doesn't have recording capability.

If you can't have a dish then you can't have Sky Q. You'll need to switch to Sky Stream which doesn't record programmes but gives you a playlist instead.

hi @GBL

I am afraid I don't know anything about GTC Fiber but to be able to continue with Q without a dish they need to be able to provide you with a Satellite feed via the feed in what is known as FIRS (Fibre Integrated Reception System)

If that is available you would need to switch the LNB mode from Wideband to SCR

As @nigea99 notes you will be may be able to use FIRS if it's configured. You will need to contact the fibre provider to confirm and how to connect if so.

@BenJoBanjo @twilight+princess whilst Q needs a dish, that may be elsewhere...

Have looked up GTC Fibre.

They mention the following, it maybe that help others here help the OP answer some questions.

Sounds like they offer a service that offers Sky Q down a fibre network to households.

Our partnership with Sky will give residents direct access to Sky’s full range of products and services, including Sky Q, from the day they move in to their new home.
