Sky Stream

View offers Streaming service | from £26/mth | whf.cm/SkyStream

However much enjoyment you might get out of it, there’s no denying that, up to now, getting Sky has been a bit of a pain. You have always had to book an engineer to come around to stick a satellite dish and associated cabling on your house – assuming you are even allowed to do that to your building – and set your satellite receiver up.

That has all changed, finally, with the launch of Sky Stream. Via a puck-like set-top streaming box you can now get satellite dish-free access on any TV of your choice to access the same unique Sky mix of 150-plus live channels, unmatched quantities of premium live sport, fully integrated third-party streaming service and vast library of on-demand movies and TV shows for which Sky has long been renowned.

It offers all this through Sky’s impressively content-focused, platform-neutral and ever-improving interface, too, and all without compromising Sky’s AV standards. In fact, its HD picture quality in particular comfortably outperforms that of the Sky Q satellite broadcasting platform.
