Managed property with Sky dish issues

[dobson1050]

I moved to an leasehold apartment building recently which is managed by a company. I moved in with a Sky Q box. The previous owner did not have the services of Sky, although there is a communal Sky dish on the property.

The sky engineer attended and managed to Plumb into Sky through some communal  Gizmo in the loft. H einformed me that although we can get a signal on the Sky Q it would not be the full service. He examined the Sky Dish and found it was rotting away with rust and this would have an effct on our sign. We were informed by him,  he could not replace the dish as it was attached to a managed property and we would haveto approach our management company for them to replace it. The dish must be as old as the twenty ear old building.

The management propertie's response is fairly negative and suggest there are other ways ti receive Sky Q such as streaming.

Has anyone else out there had a similar problem? If so please discuss your outcome. Thanks.

Sky Q requires a satellite signal (from an individual dish, a communal system or something exotic such as Fibre IRS)

The online-only product from Sky is Stream.

Realistically, satellite television broadcasting to the UK may be approaching its final few years, and a management company might legitimately need to consider the cost of reparing and maintaining what's becoming a legacy system.
