Has Sky stopped using Dish?

Good evening all,
I used to be with Sky but now tempted to take skyports.

I checked the website. It appears they are now using WiFi boxes. Can someone please confirm?
Thanks

    They still use a dish for Sky Q etc.   Sky Glass is also available which uses the internet instead of a dish (similar to Netflix).
  • Lots of ways of getting Sky Sports, either via a dish or over broadband.

    Some ideas here

    Sky Glass & Sky Stream both use the broadband, Sky Q uses the dish. Sky are hiding Q further down the page as they're trying to shift everyone including current subscribers to Glass/Stream.

    If you go for a traditional Sky package you'll have to pay for a base package and then Sports on top of that.

    If you just want Sports, Now will do it.  It costs more but no long term contract.

    Sports on Now are often on offer, £25 a month has been a frequent one (not their cheapest) and Boost needed for full HD is £6 again often available for less (and you get access to many sport programmes and catchup included)
