BT Sport without a dish

If I change my BB to BT, how could I watch BT sport on my TV without a SAT dish ?

I don't have sky.

I could watch it on my computer or apple device, but can I get it on my TV ? Is there a cam card available ?

THanks

    Hi, we have BT BB and BT sport. We don't have a dish. I think we have the infinity broadband but will have to check.

    We have a youview box that is connected via a cable to the hub.
    We can then watch Bt sport on tv plus some other channels that are not available on freeview.

    BT have stopped offering BT Sport by Freeview to any new customers, as it is being phased out. In any case, it needed a BT Vision box and a decoder card to receive it.

    Sign up to a BT fibre contract and you get BT Sport on a smartphone tablet or PC .
    Cast the stream via something like Chromecast to your TV if it has a HDMI port.

    No, you need an additional decoder box like YouView.

    If you have an Android or iOS device, pick a Chromecast up (for about £30 - £40). Then you can stream BT Sport to your TV via that device.
