@ShadeypuSS1977 short answer is yes both Sky Q and Sky Stream require a broadband connection the work. Sky Q will allow domestic viewing of thecsatellite channels but on demand and apps wont work without an internet connection. Sky Stream cannot do anything without a decent internet connection.

 

You dont need to buy the broadband from Sky as the TV boxes work with most nesrly any broadband provider. If uou dont have any connection you need to shop around to see what is available at your address. Sites like USwitch are helpful.
