Mike, thanks for your input and I was aware that my contract was to my permanent address. That having been said, and given that SkyGo is included in the package, I, not unreasonably in my view, ASSUMED (...that word, eh!) that with an external omnidirectional aerial (which I have fitted already) together with an appropriate router (which I already have (TP-Link Archer MR500 AC 1200) all I needed was a SIM only card from SKY, together with their permission to insert it into my outer and Bingo! , all should work well. With O2 covering 98/99% of the country, I should AT MOST TIMES, get a decent signal. Obviously I have a Smart TV, 40", so what am I missing? Thanks Mike and if others have a view, or real life experience, I would welcome any guidance.
If I understand this correctly, you have subscribed to Sky's streaming service and had a Stream puck delivered to your permanent address elsewhere, ie not the narrowboat?
If you are asking if you can take the Stream puck from your home address and use it on the narrowboat then no, that would be against the terms and conditions of your contract.
Sky Go on the other hand, you can use on the narrowboat. You don't need a Sky SIM card in your router to use it though, you can use a data SIM from any mobile provider. If you install the Sky Go app on a mobile phone, tablet or laptop you can stream most of the channels from your Sky Stream package on that device with your existing subscription.
If you want to watch Sky Go on your TV in the narrowboat then you'll need to either connect the laptop to the TV via HDMI or get an Apple TV box and install the Sky Go app on there and connect it to the TV. You'll also need to add the Whole Home subscription to your Sky Stream package for Sky Go to work on an Apple TV box.
