What you NEED to Know Before Buying Sky Glass!

[@Coalnotdole]

I’ve had Glass for around 7 months now and being totally honest in the beginning yes there were more than a few issues but as time has gone on Sky do seem to have fixed the majority of them. Issues with the ITV hub have now disappeared, the tv no longer switches off whenever it feels like it and it doesn’t freeze anymore either. I’m more than happy with it, it’s a great tv with fantastic picture and quality sound. Not being able to record things to watch again a year later isn’t a problem for me personally. Most things that I watch tend to stay on catch up for more than long enough. Never had any issues with the Glass pucks either, they work absolutely fine. A friend who is a Sky engineer has told me that the next generation of Glass tv’s isn’t that far away and current Glass customers will get the opportunity to just upgrade to it, give back their old Glass tv and renew their package. The new tv’s will more than likely have even better sound, picture and added recording abilities I’ve been told 👍🏻 so if you’ve already got one like me don’t worry as you’ll be able to upgrade, and if you dont already have one then you may want to wait until the new version comes out.

[@johnwynne1576]

Hi just got my tv and I'm no happy with the picture quality,my old tv is much better and I thought getting the sky tv would be better,have you idea what's wrong

[@matthewella8280]

i've noticed they have 4k tv now. but i've got sky stream was cheaper than Q and worked fine for me there has been loads of moaners about stream but mines off a three 4g dongle and works HD fine on all channels. only downside if your bothered is it takes a while to start up and sometimes says wifi not working when i have it wired in, and changing channel takes a while sometimes but thats probably down to my internet. but other than that it works great and the layout exactly the same as glass. i've noticed the picture quality on my stream is way better than my Q box was and its only down as 1080p atm not UHD.

[@petermartinaitis8166]

How do you watch a program later on a channel that has no catch up service ?

[@cu4wur6023]

Thank you for a clear and informative video on Sky Glass. We have an LG TV with a separate sound bare. We have a basic package with Sky and after we redecorate we want to have a TV in the alcove on a remote control bracket and will be looking to get a new TV doing away with as many wires as possible. I have Fibromyalgia which effects my eyes too so I need a picture quality to be as crisp as possible too. There is so much out there now and I just have no idea what to look for 🤷🏻‍♀️ I don’t want to ask in a store as I just feel fobbed off with what ever TV’s they are trying to shift! You’ve raised some great points so far as we can’t bare adverts and always fast forward so if we got Sky glass we would pay the extra. Not being very tech minded I’m just doing my best to research and try to decipher which is best. We won’t be doing any gaming for sure so I guess 60 kHz would be ok, again🤷🏻‍♀️The picture quality is a must and a good quality built in speaker (husbands hearing nit as good) but being in a bungalow not a huge room it shouldn’t take much to achieve what are needs are. Any pointers would be great fully received 🙏🏻 Thank you so much 📺😊

[@suzettewilliams1758]

I have 43inch Sky Glass for the reasons mentioned. I needed a new TV, I did not want/ and could not have a dish. I was hacked off with Virgin, I'm not a gamer and I could not be arsed with the other stuff like sound system. Plus is came in pretty colours like a phone. I had thought the loss of recording might be difficult, but to be honest I'd record whoe series on my Tivo box and never watch them. So it did not matter in the end and I’ve had it almost a year. Works for me, as really only need something to watch TV, Netflix etc.

[@gunnerman1880]

My concern is if you have iffy internet connection then there TV will keep buffering. Is that true as it doesn't use an aerial.

[@truckerlee5975]

It's new and will get better. And channels will get added...if you like wires and boxes everywhere good on you..I got sky glass from having sky Q no regrets.

[@davidtudor4110]

[@squidlings]

I like the way you push the pro and cons without been overly harsh or excited. Nice style! Good content

[@anthonytube]

Thanks! I was intrigued about the TV but also felt it would be a downgrade due to lack of recording etc BUT worse if we lose internet which we regularly do, we lose Sky. I feel this is an approach to lower hardware expense by finally removing the dish in the near future. Our internet just isn't reliable enough. Although counter intuitive if say this TV could connect to our Q box like the mini box in our bedroom it would be a cool bedroom TV but as it's one or the other, sadly it's of no use. Nice effort though it's very early Imac in design.

[@markbyrne1134]

Make sure you allow the delivery people to unpack and assemble because it is very heavy and has a very complicated stand that needs two people to put together This is on a rolling contract now so you can cancel your sky subscription at any time after a month I got the 43” and will pay £13 a month for it and £26 for the tv, so £39 a month when I needed a new tv and was paying Sky £31 anyway for hardly anything you pay the £13 for 48 months to purchase the tv, if you cancel your subscription then it becomes a smart tv with freeview but not sure how that works if I would need an aerial? Or if it just gives the free sky channels It does “record” so not sure why people say it doesn’t you add programs to your playlist now instead of actual recording so far I’m happy with it because as I said I needed a new tv and when I move house now I can’t just take the tv and no waiting 4 weeks for sky to come and put a dish or box in

[@marksidorczuk7571]

I think moving away from 18 month contracts will be brilliant for anyone worried about being tied into a contract then losing their job.

[@sandrab9088]

Sky said I could register to upgrade to Sky Glass and thought I had better see if a KZbinr had given a review. Thank God I did. If my hub stops working, I lose service to my home phone because it's connected to that. I definitely don't want to be watching footie or F1 race and the picture goes off due to hub issues. Also I like to record dramas so I can whizz through adverts. If I can't do that then Sky Glass is not for me. Thanks for the very informative review.

[@dftfire]

Got to laugh at the news today about all the Sky TVs that are not turning on, due to a bad update going out and not being able to even use HDMI inputs or Freeview... it was clear at the time, this is a TV locked to Sky so why bother? Just get a regular TV, and wait until they release the inevitable Sky Glass dongle or box, that could plug into any TV. Which they later did indeed offer such a device.

[@j4x475]

Great advice. I was intrigued by Sky glass but have Sky Q already. So yeah, pointless losing DVR function just to buy an average 4K tv. Thank you.

You say it doesn't need a satellite, yet the sky website says: "Sky functionality requires two satellite feeds. You must get any consents required (e.g. landlord's)." For someone that doesnt have or want a satellite feed due to me not paying for a TV licence, can I still use this TV and its smart features?

I've literally just today installed the 65" sky glass TV. It's costing me £69 p/m for a basic TV package, broadband, netflix and kids channels (also includes the 65" TV). This is £20 cheaper than my Virgin media package - without Netflix. I was over due a new TV so this is a very, very welcoming package for me. Very happy so far.

[@rotosphere2000]

Two points not mentioned regarding the Playlist. ITV Hub to where SKY Glass shunts you for ITV catch-up when you want to view your Playlisted episode of Emmerdale is in poor quality SD. Other problem is that a Playlist episode broadcast on say, a Geo Graphic broadcast might only be available to be streamed on a different channel where you don’t have a subscription. Noted, your highlighting that if you leave watching an ITV Playlisted item and wanted to return later you would have to wade through the adverts all over again. Wondering, can you actually skip through these ads at all? Isn’t the ad skip feature only for SKY broadcasts?

[@ItsSamuelJones]

I’ve seen that you can forward-wind the itv ads on another video. Should just not be shown them if you’re paying £5/month in my opinion!

Do you pay more for the voice command hello sky feature or is that included in the price

[@NeonVisual]

You also can't use Hue lights on the back of the tv either, as they need an HDMI out from the source, which the TV doesn't have, and as you've rightly said, no bluetooth functionality means no more headphones, and if you want to use the TV without a subscription you're pretty much getting a monitor only, you can't even plug in a fire stick as the USB can't power them. It's just solving one set of problems and creating numerous others in the process. It's as if sky think their customers don't buy expensive equipment to go with their expensive viewing subscription. Like 99% of other people who take one look into the details of glass, we'll wait for it to come in a set top box as this isn't the sky over broadband anyone asked for or wants.

[@Dean256]

I think what sky and the broadcasters have realised is that people record things and SKIP the adverts.

One question…would this TV be suitable fir a bracket on the walk? Thank you 😊

[@marksidorczuk7571]

It comes with a wall bracket but the Sky Delivery people "Panther" just deliver it. If you want it wall mounted you have to do it yourself. I think origionally you were supposed to have the choice to pay extra for it to be wall mounted but its a heavy piece of kit so the wall bracket needs to be attached to a load bearing wall and you would probably want the plug sockets in a recess behind the tv. And some sort of ducting if the sky Glass is hardwired to the router. Sky arent going to be replastering any walls.

[@cu4wur6023]

@@marksidorczuk7571 Thank you for taking the time to reply Mark it’s much appreciated. I think you’re right it’s going to be a specialised service to do all that. I’ve seen some wall mounted TV’s on peoples walls and what I’ve seen is not how I would like ours to look. It’s all wires and bulky plug which would drive us made. We would channel the wall and maybe have a false decorative panel proud of the wall so when bracket not extended it will be flush with the panel giving a clean look because there will be build in fitted cupboards underneath with sockets behind then get a kit (can’t think of what it is now 🙄) we’re it doesn’t need infrared so boxes are hidden too.

I am just thinking if you have the TV and paid it off in full so you own it now but don't want sky anymore and want to use lets say virgin or freeview will the TV let you or if you cancel the sky will the TV just brick it self that is what i want to know. As having that all in one sometimes means you have what is in the TV and you cant use anything else. And will the TV even work still if you cancel Sky on other things like a game console or is it only for TV.

Problem is my Sky Q is about to expire. After 18 years they are quoting me a crazy renewal price. They want me to get glass but I’m happy with a Sky Q. Can’t get Virgin unless running a load of coax cables round my house.

[@Bd-kl7xt]

FYI if you really want to you can connect a fire tv stick to this product. Doubt you can winge if your IpTV don’t work tho as it’s an illegal service anyways. Fire stick will be powered by the usb c with the correct connector. IpTV is the only reason you would complain about the fire stick as the tv is basically a 65 fire stick… Bluetooth isn’t built in but you can add this (apparently) via hdmi l and Tv backing light also doable using usbc again with correct connector usbc/usb. If you are like me and my family and watch 0 live tv but still manage to record half of the shows on tv and never watch them and pay £75 a month to watch one episode of the good doctor a week and stream everything else on Netflix and you are in the market to upgrade your smart tv I would say why not?

This is sky glass version 1.0 so all the extraslike "only 60hz" means nothing because if theres the demand they will build the future generations with the most in demand features.

[@paulmcgeever5343]

The concept seems ingenious but in reality it is a very expensive solution to sky making satelite dishes obsolete. Although sky now do 30 day contracts and seems like the tv is a good buy. The 48 month plan sky are pushing to make it look affordable is slightly onerous as they only offer a 24 month warranty. My question would be if it breaks down after the first two years how much will it cost to get repaired or will it be a case of you buying another tv on another 48 month plan. This would mean you may for instance have 2 years left to pay on the first tv that no longer works and another 48 months on the new tv. It will be one way of sky ensuring they are earning money from their customers and keeping you tied into them for the longer term. You also have to bear in mind that inorder for sky to attract customers the tv has to be resonably priced but what will be the cost in the long run. I am an ex sky customer as was fed up of all their price increases and have a much better quality tv and sound system costing not much more than their 65 inch set costs. All in one solutions are not long term viable solutions.

SKY Glass is a con. I bought Sky Glass, not on a credit agreement, I stupidly bought it and paid in full in March. The TV was at first faulty and got replaced in July. Between then and now I've had a growing frustration with it. Ultimately this product is inferior to Q. You can't record. You get less channels. So I decided I wanted out. The problem is this. When I did the research I discussed the TV with a Sky Rep at a stand, and gave him the hypothetical situation that if I wanted to change product in the future I could sell the TV (the benefit of buying it outright) and someone else could use it. They said yes, this was possible. Well. That is a lie. You can't. When you sell the TV no one else can use it and attach a Sky Glass subscription to it. Basically it is useless. You ae essentially painting yourself into a corner as you now have a TV no one wants to buy as it can't be used as the thing it is advertised for. Needless to say I am now seeking legal advice on this. As SKY clearly must have the ability to attach anew subscription to a TV. They are basically just limiting the free trade of the TVs on the open market (people wanting to sell as they want a new product) but buyers not being able to use the TV. I'm now raising this with a number of consumer bodies. SKY must have the ability to change TVs to new owners as they did when they sent me my new one - and let’s face it they will have sold on the faulty TV after they had fixed it. People need to be aware of this limitation with Glass. An inferior product to Q. And ultimately an inability to be able to sell on for the purpose it was intended. I tried to resolve the mis selling with SKY and they have washed their hands of it.

[@uksupporter8867]

People are missing the point here, sky brought the tv out so people that are unable to have dish’s on their buildings as in high rise flats, conservation areas, listed properties can have sky, what happened is people liked the concept of it, as in removing the dish from the walls and cables everywhere that they purchased it, then moaned, I got it as I now have one plug used instead of 3 , I can remove the trunking around my wall that carries the cables from the dish, and I do t have to fork out 400 plus for an Atmos sound bar, and then fix that to the wall etc….

I’m a Sky Diamond VIP and have registered for Sky Glass. I have Sky Q with multiroom which is a single mini box and a booster for a tv upstairs. I have an ultra powerful wifi 6 router and excellent broadband speed everywhere in my house. However, the tv upstairs constantly disconnects from the booster and it’s a total pain to reconnect every single time I want to watch the upstairs tv. Sky Glass is wifi 6 compatible so I will cancel my multiroom

[@paul28177]

so that would mean you're replacing everything including a TV... double check your wifi router... just because it's wifi 6 and you have fast wifi, doesnt mean this set up will resolve the issue --- does things like your phone and laptop work up there? This issue sounds more like a compatibility issue with the booster

[@sandyman4069]

@@paul28177 Thanks @Paul D Every wifi device works in my house - apart from minibox connection to the booster box / Sky Q main box. Sick of running up and downstairs trying to fix. Engineer coming this week. Last chance saloon for the minibox! Either Sky replace the minibox and booster and it works or I cancel and get a 4K Firestick! I know now that Sky Glass isn’t a solution for me.

ITV hub adverts are the worse . They even put adverts over the top of live TV so I turned into ITV 1. Had 40 or so seconds of adverts then it joined the live feed which then went to an advert break lol.

When I heard hdmi 2.1 I was excited but no 120hz for the PS5 etc was very disapointing to hear. A pass from me!!!

[@andrewbeard9636]

Will stick with q I think ,for the price ect I would expect a 120hz panel and like u said sky are getting very greedy wanting cash for everything ,I also feel for the engineers that will no longer be required to put up dishes ect.

I have a dog called Sky. Do I have to change its name?

[@BenGali0]

Call it glass

[@Problembeing]

Thanks. You’ve talked me out of it 🙌

[@Bd-kl7xt]

Also think of it this way…. Sky are offering redundancies to all their engineers phasing the installation engineers out so how long will sky q be reliable and what will you do to fix issues? Instead they are employing broadband engineers. I’ve had nothing but problems with sky q boxes just breaking down and waiting 2 weeks for an engineer. How long will this wait be in a years time?

[@ceasarsalad119]

I struggle to understand why anyone would buy this as opposed to just getting a good smart TV & a sky stream/Q box. If you ever want to stop paying sky you simply stop the subscription and you have a great TV. If you do this with sky Glass you have an expensive TV that doesn't do much. Also you cannot even record programmes on this thing since it has no storage. Many people this out too late.

[@glenbarrow8573]

I will stick with my sky Q thanks for the Good advice. And if you have a projector like me you can't use sky Glass. Unless you buy another mini box. I think sky need to rethink these issues like gaming and projector Ect. So they can move forward to a better way. Sky Q all the way for me

[@jordanharrison5506]

For me losing recording for everything else it offers is a no brainer. Surely Sky have done the research to "assume" not as many people are recording these days and that steam is the way forward?

[@Steve30x]

Two of a few reasons I won't buy SKY GLASS is there's no ability to record things and the channel list is the exact same list on SKY GO which has a lot of channels missing. They claim their solution for not having the ability to record is pure bull. When you miss a program you wanted to watch only a small percentage allow you to watch from the beginning and if there's two programs you wanted to watch at on at the same time your SOL.

[@simonsmith7594]

Unsure if I want it

[@crazysciencewtrobin14a19]

Thanks you bro you save me to take sky glass

[@ebola1974]

Was planning on getting it but now won't, mainly due to recordings and no audio jack, the wife has poor hearing and she uses a headset via the audio jack as it has no lag.

[@jazmorrison9030]

It taken me from about 5pm to 8pm to tune up tv and set up internet

Oh dear. Did you change from Sky Q?

[@BitsOfBen]

I don’t think I’ll be investing in Sky glass. The box seems more for people who still watch old school traditional TV. I haven’t really dealt with ads in a long time as I use the likes of Netflix and KZbin premium.

[@davecrawley4634]

Just waiting to have Sky Glass taken away. The picture is vague and washed out, we have the 65in tv and it’s really poor. Compared with the LG 55in we had attached to the old Sky +HD box….the picture is not just rubbish. The sound a good. That’s not an issue. The playlist stuff is rubbish. Having to log in to ITV hub and BBC iPlayer etc is a pain, you then inherit all the adverts that come and it’s a pain. So we’ve gone for Sky Q and are plugging the LG back in. Honestly the premise is okay, it is what will happen and how we are going forward…..but this isn’t up to snuff yet. Maybe in three to four years.

[@ItsSamuelJones]

Fair points all round

[@simonheath9371]

Top review, so glad I've seen this. I'll stick with sky Q. Thanks dude
