Sky in Flats


Sky In Flats


Discover how easy it is to get Sky TV entertainment in your flat.

Choose the package you'd like to order, hit the checkout button and you'll be asked to indicate the type of flat you live in. We'll then provide you with a step-by-step guide to getting Sky. If you live in a block of less than six flats, just tick the relevant box at secure checkout and we'll guide you through the installation process.

Live in a block of six or more flats? Sky has a network of approved local specialists who will check if you can get Sky in your flat and help you buy your package. Simply tick the relevant option once you get to our secure checkout and we'll let you know how to continue with your order.

What are the installation options?

1. Shared Dish

A shared dish is the hassle-free communal satellite system for blocks with fewer than 49 flats and 3 storeys. You only need 4 flats in your block to sign up to Sky TV and you can enjoy all the great benefits.

You will also have the ability to upgrade to Sky+ and Sky+HD, and take advantage of Multiroom - we simply install one dish on your building for free (subject to survey), to supply Sky TV to everyone who wants it. What's more, we'll contact your managing agent and get everything set up for you. Once your flat is enabled we'll arrange an install date for your Sky TV box.

2. Pre-wired system:

Your building may be pre-wired with a satellite system installed. This means you can access digital terrestrial TV, digital satellite TV and FM and DAB radio.

If your flat is pre-wired the options that are available to you will differ, depending on the type of system installed. You'll be able to tell by the type of faceplate you have in your home.

Dual satellite point Dual satellite point connection: The Sky+ and Sky+HD box require a dual satellite point connection - the satellite point will protrude from your faceplate and have a threaded connection. If your faceplate has two threaded satellite points (SAT & SAT2), you can get all the benefits of Sky+ and Sky+HD with your Sky+ and HD subscriptions.




Single satellite point Single satellite point connection: A standard Sky Box needs a single satellite point connection - the satellite point will protrude from your faceplate and have a threaded connection. You can upgrade and subscribe to Sky+HD or Sky+ with a single satellite point, but the personal video recording will be limited.
