Alternative to Sky or Virgin

Haylescom

Morning!
I'm moving house soon to an area that doesn't yet have virgin media and we're not allowed to put a dish up. We currently have the family bundle on sky with sports. Could anyone recommend a suitable alternative please? We also have phone and broadband with sky as well. TIA

Can you put a Sky dish in your loft?

Haylescom

There's access to the loft so I don't see why not; I'm not really up to speed on how it all works tbh. It's a new build, there's a quadplex faceplate (I think that's right) in the living room.

Oh I've had a look online and general consensus is no, it won't get a strong enough signal.

Unless there is window preferably plastic and in the required direction it wont work.

There isn't a window so Sky won't really be an option.

Sky dish does not have to go on a wall can be at ground level if there is line of site or alternatively you can get disguised dishes.

Haylescom

It's quite a built up area so not sure ground level would give enough coverage. Also they're about to put our bill up once again so if there's a feesable alternative I'd definitely like to explore it.

Alternative is usually to cancel Sky if out of contract and wait for an offer .

A lot is going to depend upon what paid for channels you require .
No dish will require these service over the internet .

NOW TV is a good option....box plus 6 month entertainment pass £20 argos

Thanks gardner1. I've looked at Nowtv and the entertainment package looks good. The downside is OH watches every football match on tv and F1 as well so we'd need a hefty sports pack.
