I think I'd need to get the streaming service if I was going to get Sky as well - when the roof was redone at my place recently the Sky dishes and UHF aerials were all removed (as I posted in another thread) and the body corporate won't allow them to get reinstated, so it looks like it would be streaming for me, which is a pain - I'd like to have the option of both satellite/terrestrial and streaming.

The UHF antenna can often be reinstalled inside the roof if you still have access.so that may stil be an option.

We've moved house, no dish.  Have been with sky for 7 years now, enquired about a dish install - $199, no movement on fee (I thought it was $100, still expensive).  Out of contract so may just go with the BF offer on SSN and that should do us. 

 

 

 

 

Website says $100, but if you have the new white box you can just use internet connection (wont get the TVNZ channels though) 

 

 

 

 

 

This is super unstable and glitching out as of late. Has been OK until recently.

I think I looked into this but sadly it was a non-starter as it's a body corporate situation and they said to me "just stream what you want to watch".

No, I'd need to get an aerial installer in to do it myself, and as it's outside the boundary of my property I think they would need to be notified. Highly likely that even if they agreed to let me do it I'd have to pay for it myself as well.
