Sky Television is inherently based around hardware boxes for output to an attached screen (or projector)
In theory you could get a subscription to Sky Stream and throw the 'puck' in a drawer to be automatically activated while actually viewing through the Sky Go app, but that's a really clumsy and expensive way of accessing Sky content: also note the Go app is now antique and not particularly great in either UI or resolution (as it's very much a legacy add-on rather than a primary subscription product)
As @nigea99 indicates, 'Now' (which is also a Sky Group company) may well be preferable: the Now app was recently updated to be a full Comcast platform.
