Sky Stream, the streaming box that gives you Sky without the dish, has gone on sale in the UK.

Shoppers can head to sky.com to place their orders. All you need is a decent wi-fi connection (10Mbps or faster, according to Sky). Orders received by 9pm Monday to Friday or by 3pm Sunday will be despatched on a next day delivery service.

Sky Stream, which launched last month, promises "most of the Sky Glass experience" (Live ReStart, voice controls and playlists).

Upgrading from Netflix Basic (SD) to Standard (HD) will cost you an extra £4 a month but it's worth noting that Netflix has announced that it intends to boost video resolution for Basic users from 480p to 720p HD from November.

Want Sky Stream on up to five televisions throughout your home? You'll need the £12 a month Whole Home add-on. Your first additional puck is free, but any more will be charged at £39.95 each.
