    You don't need a dish. It's done through the phone line.

    They'll just reactive the existing line that's in the house. As far as I know they don't install a physical line.

    There could be some additional terms / conditions / cost / contract duration but the following paragraph is from this page (scroll down to "Sky Line Rental"):

    "Don't have an active phone line?

    Sky can install a new phone line if you don’t have an active line or if it is not compatible with Sky."

    In the same boat myself can get the broadband but lose the satellite signal as soon as leaves come back on the 🌲 trees
