@nepia cheers
any streaming box recommendation thenOh, I'm an Apple TV guy (as mentioned above) but understand not everyone is as keen on them, or willing to fork out the cash for them. (Their 4k Apple TV seems very expensive these days).
I'm just not an Android guy, hence the shudder. I'm sure some of the Android fans on here can give you some recommendations as I have no idea outside of Chromecast which I don't consider a box (if I had any idea where my Chromecast was I would have happily donated it to you, but I just had a look in my usual old tech drawer and it's not there).

Have a look at this link. You would still need to pay for Sky Sport.
Broadband
Get the ultimate broadband experience with One NZ. The best connection type and broadband plan for YOUR place.
If you want just SkySport and not a Sky package you still have to do it separately and cast with that. It's a good box if you have good internet. I use it and it is good for the basics (Netflix, Neon, TVNZ) but you can't add others.

Nope.
I use it simply as my conduit for normal TV. It's an easy UI and easy to jump to Netflix. Just a box to connect to the internet for free TV (and Sky if you want to add it) -

so could run off pc connected to tvyes.
I have been using SkySport Now for a while with a mixture of trials, full payment and currently a discounted deal because I cancelled and they lured me back.
I cast from phone/tablet to the TV.
To be honest though I am thinking of switching up to the VodaTV option for an extra $18 just for the convenience factor.
I can't easily flick between two sports channels on the app and certainly can't flick from normal TV to sports without changing input etc.
Getting a bit sick of the occasional freeze/cut out via the app as well (very painful when watching cricket)
SSN is $39.99 a month and basic Sky with Sport added is $57.99
