Is sky phasing out the use of satellite dishes and going exclusively to television through broad

[Chodley]

@spannernick1 you can still get Sky Q for now though

[ORDEAL]

It won't be 40 seconds behind once the satellite feed doesn't exist.

Get a Starlink mini for your van, they work great and you'll have fast internet to stream Sky from anywhere

@Sharpie 

On Sky Go, yes.  Using a Stream puck that way would be a breach of the T&C's.

Starlink (or simila) is the most likely future for the delivery of your TV signal in the home as well as in your van.

Not in the home. Ground based internet is so much cheaper, faster and more reliable.

Yes at the moment, but when there are 42,000 satellites there will be so much capacity it will be much cheaper. The draw for a truely global  TV will be too much.

That's a lot of satellites that need their investment costs recouping...

Ground based capacity will still be a lot cheaper

what is a "truly global TV"? if it means our TV will be like America's, that's about as compelling as toenail removal without anaesthetic.

You think countries and companies won't still control broadcast authority and rights on a market basis?
