Sky TV and Distance Selling

Trying to establish whether subscribing/signing up for Sky TV services via the Sky Q box is covered by Distance Selling regs.
There's a 14 day cooling off period for contracts signed on-line, but does signing up (or more specifically, amending a contract) through a "technical portal" on a TV screen count as distance selling?
I can't find anytthing in the Sky contract about cooling off in this context but I can't see the difference between a Sky Q box and TV screen vs. the internet. In any event, there was no human interaction

According to that, anything bought via digital TV is covered. Won't be covered if it's worth less than £420 -
You would almost certainly have had to agree to new T&Cs before the upgrade went ahead as it would have required a new contract.
