Can I get Sky TV without broadband?

Because Sky’s televisions services can be delivered over satellite, you can take out a TV plan from the telecoms provider without broadband from Sky or any other provider. 

However, your access to some goodies included in your Sky TV package, such as catch-up viewing, box sets and other on-demand content, and the integration of streaming sites like Netflix and iPlayer, will be limited if you don’t have a broadband connection at home.

Without the internet, Sky’s Q box will still allow you to view and record live television, but that’s about it. Without internet, you also won’t be able to use Sky Q Mini Boxes, which allow you to watch Sky on multiple screens at the same time.

If you have a broadband connection from another provider, you can still get Sky TV. Your Sky Q box will simply use that broadband connection to download catch-up and on-demand content. But you’ll want to ensure that broadband link is fast or you might be waiting hours for that content to download.
