This message was authored by: JennyS29 · ‎24 Sep 2025

I've just moved into a new build house and phoned Sky today to transfer my services - SkyQ, Internet and Talk - to the new address. An engineer is attending on Friday. However, when I look around at neighbouring properties nobody has satellite dishes. Is there a system now where SkyQ does not need a dish?

@JennyS29 Sky Q will always need a dish, the newer Sky stream doesn't however it is a different system to Sky Q so you would need to ensure you do your research.

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

That suggests you need to check if dishes are permitted at all: some contracts on new-build developments don't allow them.
