  • Sky+HD boxes are still available new from independent installers and second hand on E-Bay etc..

    No need to go completely without Sky simply because you have an old Communal dish not suited to Sky Q..

    The survey is free and, very often, the upgrade to SkyQ is too because Sky subsidise it heavily. Might be worth telling that to your HA

    Speaking as a director of a communal estate I would have thought that it isn't Sky you have to get permission from for a new dish - it's the HA. On our estate any leaseholder is precluded from having their own dish -that's why there is a communal system.

    As long as there aren't any height restrictions Sky will stick a dish up. They do have a special heights team and independent installers will go where Sky can't
