Broadcast TV will not be supported going forward, You will not get Broadcast TV over a stream box.

For all new VM FTTP (and I mean XGSPON not RFoG) only TV via a stream box will be supported.

As VM turns off it's HFC Network and converts to XGSPON, the ability to receive broadcast will disappear.

Timescales are sketchy but within 10 years.

I can't speak for Sky, but they are on the same pathway.

It's the way the industry is going.
