Yes if you have Sky Q otherwise it won't work.

hi @Cindiloo 

 

if you have SKY Q where you have posted (or SKY hd) then yes - it still needs a feed from a Satellite dish

 

SKY do have  internet only products - SKY Glass (TV) & SKY Stream that do not need a dish.

While a Q box could technically function as online-only hardware (and was in fact intended to do so years ago) it requires a periodic signal to arrive over its satellite dish to remain in operation.
