Sky TV 4k is it via Satellite or Internet?

OK I'm out of contract with BT. BT can't for the foreseeable future provide me with a 4K broadband line.
Although I do have access to B4RN (Broadband for the Rural North), which is fibre to the house. It's not set up yet but it'll cost £150 for them to install and provide the equipment. It is a fibre connection to the house. Then it's £30 a month for super fast fibre broadband and VOIP telephone. BUT I will lose BT sport etc.

On the other I can get a multitude of SKY TV packages for various monthly amounts. But I was wondering about the 4K side of things. I I want to watch a 4K program on Sky TV, is that 4K program delivered via the broadband connection (as BT would) or is it delivered via the satellite?

 

Satellite. Sky boxes use the internet connection for catch up stuff..

 

but what about live football in 4K?

 

same answer

 

What do ya wana watch football for

 

I don't...but, there's other stuff in 4K

 

It's only the Sky Q main box that supports 4k. The mini boxes that connect to the main box to give you multiroom are only HD.
