Easiest/cheapest way to get sky sports

frugalsar

My grandad has just moved into a rural park home after living in Spain for the past 20 years, we bought him a new tv with free channels already on it but he really wants sky sports, we rang sky and they came to have a look but couldn't fit thè dish - what else can anyone suggest?

Even if they could fit a dish, he would have to take a basic Sky package before he could have Sports Channels. They dont sell it 'stand alone'

Is the TV free sat or freeview.

Why couldn't they fit the dish? If a signal is available, then contact an independent Sky installer instead.

The sky installer couldn't get a signal, I think his tv is freeview?

Doesn't matter what the TV is. I would ask Sky what the problem is.

'Rural park home'-what is that?
Possibly due to trees around the site blocking a a line of sight to the satellite?
Still worth getting an independent out, they will be willing to mount the dish where the Sky installer can't (eg a higher chimney mount, etc).
