To ask how Sky TV works!

[CornishTiger]

Firstly we have crap internet. Like really crap. Crapper than anyone would believe. We aren’t rural. It’s an anomaly for a tiny area surrounded by fibre. No plans for an open reach build anytime soon. It’s pants.

we had BT Tv then ditched BT and moved to sky.

We have the dish. TV signal did improve.
However fast forward 3/4 years and now I’m unhappy with the prices and want to leave. I might keep the basic broadband price but I don’t want to keep paying for tv at all the time.

Is the reason we have semi decent Tv because it comes through a dish? We still get buffering and it takes forever to download stuff! Any techy people that can talk me through it?

Your tv works via satellite not internet that's why it works ok for you. You could phone sky tell them you want to leave they will offer you a much cheaper rate , don't accept their first offer. This will reset your contract for 18 months though.

Or get a freesat box, free to watch and you can use your old sky dish. Boxes are about £200

Thank you. I’ll look into freesat. Didn’t you use to be able continue to use Sky box though? I suppose they want them back though now!

@DragonFly98 thank you. I kind of needing that confirming as know we use internet for some functions. Definitely need to not get something that’s streaming as too much on internet.
