Changing TV providers

Given what I have heard recently about sky discontinuing the use of satellite dishes by 2028 and going exclusively to online methods broadband et cetera for television services. I have made the decision that within the next three years at least by 2027 I intend to have switched providers to someone else. I really do not want to have to rely solely on broadband to access my TV services as it can be very bad in my area at times and no matter what we do nothing can improve it so to ensure that I have a secure TV service within the next couple of years I should be changing to someone else can anyone recommend any good TV providers apart from sky? I intend to stay with them for the moment at least but I need a backup plan thanks. Any advice would be gratefully received

There is not going to be any alternative satellite service.  All providers are heading towards broadband delivery.

 

Even FreeView (via an aerial) will likely move towards Freely in the long term.

 

If you have VirginMedia in your area then they use their own (cabled) infrastructure.

@Dobber1234  I concur with @PandJ2020 the days of satellite television are numbered for all tv providers who currently offer satellite television
