Want sky but need a satellite
I have a sky glass tv but don't subscribe to sky at the moment. My internet is appalling where I live so a streaming service is not an option.
my question is, will sky still come and install a satellite on my property? If so how can I get them to do this without calling and being hard sold to?

You can still order Sky Q, the TV service received via satellite. If you've had Sky Glass though it may be tricky to order Sky Q on the Sky website so you'll need to call to order.
Work out which package you want beforehand and keep saying no to anything they try to upsell.

Re: Want sky but need a satellite
You can order Sky Q online, by building your package here.
https://www.sky.com/tv/sky-q?msockid=06e35c0c3e9c6f5001a94a993f526ee6
As you no longer have a Sky Glass or Sky Stream subscription, you should not have any issues ordering online.
You could also use the live assistant at the top right of the Sky help page here;
Sky Stream with two pucks (former Sky Q and Sky+ customer).
Sky Ultrafast + using Sky SR203 hub. Sky Mobile unlimited data. Sky Protect smart tech kit tester.
My good journey to Sky Stream from Sky Q. Click here to read

Re: Want sky but need a satellite
A satellite dish rather than the orbiting component: those are rather more expensive and have a lead time of several years to manufacture.
BT Halo 3+ Ultrafast FTTP (500Mbs), BT Smart Hub 2
