Why choose the new Sky Hub?

Our best ever wireless router

Using our Sky Smart Signal technology, the Sky Hub scans for interference from devices in your home and selects the best WiFi channel, making sure you always have the best signal available. So, with an even better wireless range than our last router, you can Facebook in the kitchen, do your shopping in the bedroom and get the sports results in the garden.

 

Saving money and the environment

Our new Sky Hub is energy smart too; it will automatically switch to a low energy consumption mode when you’re not using it and switch back to full power as soon as you’re back online.

TV on demand

Unlock a world of entertainment

Connect your Sky Hub to a compatible black Sky+ or Sky+HD box and unlock all the features of On Demand - at no extra monthly cost to your Sky TV.

If you’d prefer not to have an ethernet cable running from your Sky+ box to your broadband router, simply add a Wireless Connector before you checkout.

Watch some of the week's best TV from Sky, BBC iPlayer, ITV on demand and Demand 5 on brand new Catch Up TV - with 4oD coming in 2013. Plus, full series box sets, kids' shows and more (including hundreds of movies if you have Sky Movies 1 & 2) ready to watch when you are, right on your TV.
