Alternative connection

I was wondering is there anyway of getting the sky glass to work even if your wifi is down. are you able to connect to your mobile and use it over a 5g connection?

@sarbear1989  You may get it to work over 5G but results may be variable.  And you also need to be aware of any data caps on your 5G plan as Sky Glass can consume a fair amount of data.

Like you I'm a customer here, Sky Employees are clearly identified as such.

Worst case scenario you can connect an aerial and use the basic free-to-air tuner to view those channels live.
