Satellite service Over a quarter of households in the United Kingdom receive television services via satellite. Most of them subscribe to Sky. I recently moved home and as a Sky subscriber for over two decades had a satellite dish installed for work reasons, although they are no longer offering satellite installations for new customers. While two-thirds of homes in the country subscribe to one or more online video services, there is still a significant dependency on satellite distribution for television channels. Given the technology involved in sending a signal from a spacecraft to a dish the size of dustbin lid, satellite delivery has proved remarkably reliable. There are many potential benefits of internet distribution, not least the ability to use a screen anywhere in the home without a fixed connection. Yet there is some way to go to convert existing satellite service subscribers to online delivery.
