New customer satellite dish

Is it possible to join sky TV and have a satellite dish instead of a streaming box. I want fully live TV with no delay. I know that sky stream obviously has a small delay whereas using a dish will be completely up to date.

@R921 

Sky Q is still available to order but you have to call Sky to order it.

Satellite transmission-reception has a delay: can't beat the laws of physics ; )

 

As @Daniel0210 indicates, Sky Q is still available by phoning, but probably now has a lifespan of under four years.
