Ukraine

[WRB+Wilson]

Are there any plans for Ukrainian programmes to be made available for refugees to watch via Sky. Cant get second dish to access Ukrainian channels.

@WRB+Wilson  It isn't up to Sky, Sky cannot just add channels they have no control over.  It would be up to the Ukranian channels to seek carriage, however I doubt they will as they are freely available with a Dish and suitable receiver pointed to  Hotbird at 13E.

There is also the cost to use another satellite for the UK only which may not be feasible.

I am applying to take in Ukrainian refugees and would like to try and get Ukrainian TV for them. I have seen your reply. Can you advise about how and where I would get the dish? Am I correct in thinking that if I have the dish installed by a professional fitter they will point to Hotbird at 13 E?

@Kath+Stabler a local satellite installer will be able to help. Just let them know what you want to achieve.

[Kath+Stabler]

Ok thanks. I was over thinking it and imagining I had to buy a special dish. Sorry.

@Kath+Stabler  Do be aware that you won't be able to use any Sky boxes to receive channels from this orbital position.  You can buy a cheap FTA HD receiver from a lot of online stores from around £50

Are there none available online ? It might save you a few £s and be easier to access.

Many of the Ukrainian TV channels have been amalgamated into one 24 hour news & information channel since the start of the war. I think the below link is that channel...

Thanks for starting this conversation. I came here looking for the same in the hope Sky might have an app on SkyQ that we could use via the mini box.

Realistically I'd suggest there's very little likelihood of a dedicated app being developed and released on Q for this purpose.  A computing device capable of pointing a browser to the URL that @Doc5907 provided above is the most likely solution, or using the YouTube app on Q if any of the channels have a presence there.
