EXPLAINED: Sky stream | Rare Historical Photos

TV streamer: Sky Stream Puck.

However much enjoyment you might get out of it, there’s no denying that up until recently getting Sky was a pain. You either had to book an engineer to come around to stick a satellite dish and associated cabling on your house – assuming you’re even allowed to do that to your building – and set your satellite receiver up. Or you had to buy a big Sky Glass TV (again requiring a visit by a Sky installation team) that you might not really have wanted just to get a streamed rather than a broadcast version of the Sky platform.

That all changed, finally, with the launch of Sky Stream. Thanks to this set-top streaming box there is at last a dishless (and slightly more affordable) way to enjoy Sky that you can set up yourself in moments. Cups of tea for installers busy drilling holes in your walls are no longer required.
