Hi All,
Mum is moving into retirement flat which does not have cable.
Can sky and Bt sports be accessed without a dish?
Talktalk say they can via internet?
Thanks
Suzanne

Now tv does sky sports over broadband , no need for a dish
There is a limited number of channels Live on now tv , box sets plus catchup are available
BT TV /talk talk do the same although you need infinity for HD or Ultra
There's no way to watch all the sky package over the Internet without a dishEx forum ambassador

Thanks Browntoa,
Do you think I should go with Sky with a dish so she can have BT and Sky sports?
Cheers Suzanne0 -
Which Sky channels does your mum actually watch?
If it's just Sky Sports then you can get this via BT TV (and also with Now TV but it's a pricey add on for that service).0 -
The main channels are Sky Sports and BT Sports.
She is football mad:-)
We are also looking at landline and basic internet {for us to use when we visit}.
Unfortunately she had a bad experience with BT, so looks like SKY is the lonly option?
There is a comunal digital aerial, does this make a difference?
Thanks Everyone

An aerial alone will only provide Freeview channels regardless of how many termination points.0
