I was talked into sky Q today but I do not want a satellite dish, I have Broadbaand and talk so do I

I have broadband and talk so can it just work through Wi-Fi ? The agent told me it could but each time I've looked it says I need a dish.

@The+mariner afraid Sky Q needs a satellite dish to receive live TV channels and will not work without a dish

@The+mariner 

Q is a satellite television system: Sky will not install it without either an individual dish or a connection to a communal dish distribution system.

The online only Sky platforms are Glass (with a Sky-branded television set) and Stream (Sky-branded set top box)

There's also Now TV, which is owned by Sky.

Sky Glass 55" (on ethernet) & two Stream Pucks (one ethernet / one WiFi)
BT Halo 3+ Ultrafast FTTP (500Mbs), BT Smart Hub 2
