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.1

ThanksIf 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.0 -
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)Neil_Jones said:Kaybenson said:Good evening all,
