SKY tv/broadband/phone package: can you get it without having to install a dish?

Probably a daft question to most of you .... am considering changing from VirginMeeja at the moment for cost reasons to SKY, but realise that the missus may not want a dish stuck outside the house.
Do Sky provide a total cable service similar to VirginMeeja?

Nope.
You need a satellite dish to receive TV.0 -
The dish does not have to be attached to the house at all. It can be at ground level, on a short pole in the back garden discreetly covered with a shrub or bush...all that is necessary is a line of sight to the satellite.
The phone and broadband package does not of course require a dish at all-that is just for the TV service.No free lunch, and no free laptop
