Now my Sky service comes through fibre I assume my Skydish is redundant and I can remove it. But I am not that confident about upsetting the Sky system

Simon2012477 If you have a Sky signature subscription that mean you will have a Sky Q box which gets it's live TV signal from a satellite so you still need the satellite dish and cabling
I may be a Sky Superuser but I am still just a Sky customer
Sky Q 2 TB (Silver)Box, 2 Mini boxes since June 2016, all connected by wifi
Sky Broadband Hub/SR203, Sky Ultrafast broadband
Ultimate on Demand, Q Experience/UHD, Sky Sports, Sky Cinema

Re: Removing redundant sky dish
What Sky system do you have? (As you've posted in Q)

If you have Sky Stream then your dish and the cabling attached to it is entirely redundant. You can remove it yourself or get a local handyperson to come and detach it from your exterior wall and dispose of it. You may need some filler for the bolt holes. Sky do not remove dishes and cabling.

Re: Removing redundant sky dish
Yes, you have Sky Q. Whilst some content is streamed over the internet the primary source is still the satellite dish and you cannot remove it.

Re: Removing redundant sky dish
Yeah you don't have a pure streaming service. You've got a satellite based service with a box that supports some streaming capabilities.
