update sky plus to wifi

[kittykaycat]

Hi,  Im trying to stream discovery plus but after research found out my sky plus is an old system that doesnt have wifi. I know I can buy an adapter but with postage to ireland it looks quite expensive. Is there a way I can update the sky box I have or can I order a newer one from sky? I dont have a HD tv so have been told I cant get sky q

Thanks

Discovery+ streams via an app, not via Sky's On Demand services. Sky boxes can't host apps at all, regardless of whether they're wifi capable or not.

In short, Discovery+is only available on Sky Q boxes, I'm afraid.

You won't be able to stream Discovery + on a Sky+HD box with built in WiFi or by adding a WiFi adapter to your box.

Sky+HD does not support Apps only SkyQ.

iPhone / iPad / AppleTV4

iPhone 5 running iOS 11 or later

iPad2 running iOS 11 or later
