Sky TV in a second Home

Rockman60

Hi
We have got use of a second home for a decent monthly rent so that we can regularly visit our son and his family who live about 4 hours away from us. It will be cheaper to rent rather than pay petrol  and travelling costs/overnight stays to visit them plus the nightmare 10 hour round trip is physically draining. We will have the arrangement for about 1 year.
I currently have a Sky package at home which includes the sports bundle. I also have Sky Go. Will I be able to watch programmes through Sky go on a TV in this other house or will I have to negotiate a second package with Sky for a second home? Or are there other options for getting a decent range of TV programmes at a reasonable cost?
With regard to internet access I am currently with BT but I assume I just get the cheapest package available from whoever on a one year contract for the other house. I can't see on the internet where BT do a deal for a second home.
Thanks for any help provided.

Yes you can use use Sky Go elsewhere. It’s available on iOS, Android, Xbox and PlayStation. With the latter 2, you can get sky go on any tv but the downside is no recording or live pause. 

Re: internet, yes get the cheapest fixed line assuming speeds are decent (>30 Mbps). Talktalk offer FTTC 40/10 (up to) for something like £20/m or so.

You use to be able to use a Slingbox for this kind of thing. Not sure is they still work. Worth looking in to.

why not just take your sky box and card with you when you are at the second address (providing there's a dish fitted there). we do this whenever we go to our holiday home (abroad) works fine as if we were at our main home.

Agreed.  Take the $ky box and use on a dish there.  Don't forget to buy a second TV Licence, though.

Use mobile broadband data there rather than a new phone line and broadband contract (mobile reception permitting). (Either a home broadband router, mifi, or an unlimited phone as wifi hotspot.  Some of the former can be on a month by month contract).  It could form the main internet at both homes if not required in main home for other purposes.
