If you live in a flat or bedsit - you can only have a satellite dish if there are no planning restrictions on your building. Please check Planning Portal first, or speak to your local planning officer.

There also may be a limit on the number of dishes per block. Please be aware that if you install a satellite dish and this is against planning restrictions, this will be a breach of tenancy.

Can I install a cable TV?

If you live in a flat or bedsit - there can be lots of complications around getting cable TVs installed in blocks of flats. Often a communal system is required. Please contact us first and we will see what is possible.

Can I install Sky Q?

If you live in a house, bungalow or maisonette – yes. You can install Sky Q as long as you are aware you are responsible for any repairs and/or maintenance.

If you live in a flat or bedsit – no. Unfortunately you cannot install Sky Q, as it will affect the quality of signal for our existing systems and other residents.
