Sky dish no reception due to neighbours scaffolding. Would Sky Stream be answer?

Have Sky Q and neighbours building works / scaffolding means we've had no signal for weeks. Cant even get Apps now. Nothing. Thinking of switching to Sky Stream. Would this solve the issue as it doesn't require a dish?

hi @HMP17 

Yes you could switch to SKY Stream but note it is a different product in several ways and does need a good internet connection.

Unfortunately SKY Q does need a periodic 'Keep alive' signal which is sent via Satellite which is why apps & catch up cease.

You should be able to use SKY Go whilst you wait for the scaffolding to be removed

In the short term have you asked your neighbour how long the scaffolding will be up for?
