Discussion topic: I have sky broadband and sky stream tv - do I need the dish outside still?

I have what I think is an unused dish outside which is an eyesore - if I don't need it, I'll remove it. We have sky stream and sky broadband - do I need the dish? Thanks

Nope. The dish is purely for satellite television. You may want to keep it as a backup in case you ever decide to go back to Satellite television, but time is running out on that anyway and the satellites will probably stop working in 2030 or so, so it's up to you wether you keep it or not.

But it would be at your expense to remove it, Sky wont come and remove it for you.
