BENORMOUS Posted June 24, 2016 Posted June 24, 2016 So my contract with sky ends in around 2 weeks and I'm wanting to switch my broadband service to a different isp but I'll be keeping my TV package with them,say if I switch to TT will sky on demand still work ok,it may seem a noob question but with sky being as fussy as they are with there MER authentication I wasn't sure another provider would work when I wanna download TV shows Thanks in advance
ColonicBoom Posted June 25, 2016 Posted June 25, 2016 I can't answer for Sky but I kept my TV with Virgin Media when I dropped their internet and phone package in favour of TalkTalk. But although Virgin TV appears to come into the house on the same cable, it doesn't seem to be authenticated by the hub so it could be a completely different story with Sky.
BENORMOUS Posted June 25, 2016 Author Posted June 25, 2016 I'm getting mixed answers from Google and other peoples experiences
BENORMOUS Posted June 27, 2016 Author Posted June 27, 2016 Anyone of you out there a sky customer but don't use their broadband?or even better a talk talk broadband customer that uses sky TV?
Zennon Posted June 27, 2016 Posted June 27, 2016 If you are meaning Sky go on a device then that should work.
daz Posted June 27, 2016 Posted June 27, 2016 my mums had sky for years and has had many different isp's and no issues
ColonicBoom Posted June 27, 2016 Posted June 27, 2016 of course, Sky is satellite anyway! I doubt the hub authenticates that at all
daz Posted June 27, 2016 Posted June 27, 2016 also you can actually use most of sky's features with the phoneline disconected
BENORMOUS Posted June 27, 2016 Author Posted June 27, 2016 my mums had sky for years and has had many different isp's and no issues All I want to know is will I be able to use the catch up feature to download TV shows and box sets,my concern was sky's MER authentication how they insist you use there hub and theres only,I didn't want to get myself a new isp and find out that I can no longer download TV episodes off sky's service because I'm no longer using there broadband because the Mrs will literally go ballistic
Zennon Posted June 27, 2016 Posted June 27, 2016 Quote .. Do I need Sky Broadband to use Sky On Demand? No, you can use Sky On Demand with any internet service provider. https://recombu.com/digital/article/which-catch-up-tv-channels-are-on-sky-on-demand_M10947.html
