@GeoffWestWales  Your only options are either Sky stream or Now TV.

Like you I'm a customer here, Sky Employees are clearly identified as such.

I did call them up to ask about Sky Stream but the guy on the other end did not seem to understand what I wanted, will check online, thanks for your reply

One issue may be it's not possible to order Sky Stream without a postal address for the subscription.  NowTV doesn't require that.

Re: Sky on a Narrowboat with no dish

We have a residential mooring with full postal address so that should be OK, but good point for anyone else who may be in a similar situation in the future,thanks for your input.

Re: Sky on a Narrowboat with no dish

Now TV might be your best bet and its going to get an upgrade from 18th February as well.
