Hi @Annemarie22 If the installer has confirmed that you cannot have Sky Q, you need to contact Sky and discuss your options. There is a good chance that they will allow you to terminate your contract without penalty. If you are not in a Virgin Media area, then your only option is streaming. There is no need to record, you simply add the programmes to your Playlist to view later on.

Looks like your only option is to cancel then?

@Annemarie22 the only other option you have is speaking to the person whos garden the tree is in and see if they would have the tree trimmed so it doesn't restrict your signal

Hi @Annemarie22 Have a look at Sky Stream, especially the Frequency Asked Questions at the bottom. https://www.sky.com/tv/stream
