SKY Stream on a Narrowboat.

[Victorious41]

How do I set it up?

Assumptions:-

1. My existing contract covers the cost.

2. I will need a WiFi contract with someone for best 'countrywide' cover.

3. That Sky Go (or similar) effectively provides the connection to my chosen network.

Any assistance would be appreciated, as I am sure it's been done already?

Thanks, Vic.

What kind of 'existing contract' do you have? 

If you have a Sky+ or Sky Q subscription then a Sky Stream subscription will need to be taken out in order to use Sky Stream. Any pre-existing Sky TV subscription will be cancelled upon activation of the Stream puck. 

Sky Stream relies entirely on a fast and stable broadband connection of 25Mbps minimum speed for HD streaming and 30Mbps for UHD streaming. You need to arrange this separately at additional cost. 

Sky Go is completely separate to Sky Stream. Sky Go is merely an app which allows you to stream content from channels which are part of your Sky Stream subscription whilst away from home on a mobile device. 

Also - your narrowboat will need to have a fixed address. 

You may be better off using NOW TV for access to Sky content.

Hi @Victorious41 

Not sure that the t&C's would allow this. To use Sky stream it must be delivered and used at an address. Sky define an address as:

"The residential property where you live in the UK and to which we

agree to provide the TV services".

NowTV might be the better option for you.
