Can I use sky without a satellite dish

I currently have a Sky satellite dish an a Sky Q box.  I am sure someone told me that customers can access Sky service now without a dish.  We are having a new conservatory and we will need to relocate the dish if we still need to have it.  

 

I guess what I need to know is, can I access Sky without a dish?

hi @LisaMarie66 

 

THere is now a product called SKY Stream where you can get SKY via internet.& doesn't use a dish

 

You need a good stable internet connection.

 

It is also quite different in a few respects to SKY Q as there is no hard disc recording & it uses apps for catch up and uses Play lists to track programmes etc. - do research it fully as whilst many like it, it doesn't suit everyone

(There is  a separate SKY Stream group which you may want to look through)

@LisaMarie66 

Yes - Sky Stream or Sky glass but research fully first as it's a totally different way of viewing.
