Is it possible to connect Sky stream to a BT wifi hotspot for a few days whilst I wait for my Sky broadband to be activated?

Posted by a Superuser, not a Sky employee. Find out more@Confused+JJ you can connect Sky Stream to most any broadband service you do not need Sky's broadband.

I have tried the WIFI using password option from the setup and selected the hotspot but it does not connect; I must be doing something wrong. Message "We can't connect to your broadband router"

Do you mean one of those public BT-WiFi hotspots?
If you do then I'd say it won't work as the bandwidth is limited, and I believe the paid option only give a maximum of 10Mpbs
Thanks,

The Stream / Glass won't be able to connect as the login process would redirect to a webpage to enter the BT WiFi username and password.
Thanks,

@Tim+Adams disappointing but makes sense; I will just have to be patient and wait for my router/broadband to be activated
Thank you for taking the time to reply

@Confused+JJ Hi, did you not have broadband previously and are just switching over companies ?
