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.

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

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 📺😊

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.

Thanks for this informative review. I would have been caught out by lack of DVR - SkyQ will now remain for a few years or until Sky Glass mk.2

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.

Sky said I could register to upgrade to Sky Glass and thought I had better see if a KZfaqr 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.

Very helpful, I’ve ordered a glass tv but now I’m going to cancel and stick with sky Q. thanks for explaining the options. I would just add that it’s an extra £5 a month for the use of all five speaker sound bar.

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.

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

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

I was going to get this but as soon as you mentioned adverts I’ve decided it’s a no for me, I have Q and a devialet sound bar so won’t bother and I am sure my Apple TV won’t work so well on this, thanks,for a good review showing all the issues that might be present

If they develop Sky Glass in the future I will consider switching but for now im sticking with my Dish/SkyQ - love the ability to record and can not stand the way they have this set up on the new skyglass. Badly thought out product so far. thanks for the review

Thanks for the review, I found this really helpful

Thanks. You’ve talked me out of it 🙌

Thanks for this review. We have a faulty communal sky dish, which means we cant have sky q. So this might be an option, I already own the exact tv (samsung) that you compared it with. If the picture is similar , I'll be happy 😊.

Thanks for your honest advise I have decided to upgrade to sky q from the original sky hd packages many thanks :)

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.

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

Hi mate good video and explains the options whether to upgrade from Sky Q to Sky Glass Thanks.

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.

Can you add to playlist from the individual apps like Netflix , Prime Video , Disney plus , Apple TV plus etc or can it only be done from within the Sky Glass interface ?

Thanks for the review. I always record drama on itv because of the adverts. Definitely won’t be getting sky glass. Hate adverts.

In Australia We Now Have Hubbl Glass (same as sky Glass) just with a different software skin. Hubbl owned by Fox. Also Hubbl TV Hub Box (sky stream box). Came out in March 2024 here. So 2 yrs old Tech.

what about if you already have sty Q and need sky glass as a second tv for the bedroom? does it link with the sky q box?

I just can't afford a new 4k TV so this was a god send for me we can't all be like u who has everything

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

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.

Great review 👍

Still rocking Sky+ HD at our house 😄👍🏻

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

How does 'recording' live sports on this work ? can you still watch it back anytime as normal ?

one thing sky glass has in its favour is it uses less energy so and only one thing to plug in , no extra box or sound bar , but i have a good tv and sound bar so will wait for the new sky Q IP box when it comes out next year or so

Exactly the vid I was looking for although I can’t find anything on why I would want it...already have Q but have a strange shape room that I could put a tv on the wall but no where for a Q box, so can I get this glass and have sky in my room and still keep my current Q setup? Also can it be hung on the wall? Appreciate any guidance you have on this

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

So would the new x box not be worth using on this TV ?

Thanks you bro you save me to take sky glass

thank you, very informative, not got sky glass, only plus, looking into having glass, but on reading comments too maybe sky Q instead?

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.

Thanks. I think you are spot on! Will stick with Q!

I had sky glass delivered and two days later I had it returned. The picture is not as good as sky Q . What this man is saying is so true. Check it out first. The salesmen don’t know everything.

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.

The big problem for me is that you can't just pay monthly for the TV, you also have to pay £29pm extra for sky ultimate, even though I already have sky Q. To be honest if I could just have the TV I would get it because my TV is getting old. 😬

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?

Cheers for the review. Will stick to my lovely Sky Q

Thanks met, just cancelled the delivery…got skyQ will stick to that

So in practice all those recordings are gone now and can't be recovered? I'm sure a hdd or even an ssd wouldn't of been a huge ask though. A good idea but very poorly under thought 😔

We live in a conservation area and a listed house.. So we aren’t allowed a satellite dish (yes, really) so sky glass is perfect for us

someone being honest at last about Sky Glass! no mention of streaming TV if your internet goes down though!!

Iv switched sky Q package gos up in March switching to sky glass saved me £30 a month for the same package.

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. This video was from 4 months ago and most of these bugs are either fixed or will inform the design of the next version. You get your first puck for free when you take out whole home

He forgot to mention that sky glass pucks work in uhd wheras with sky Q miniboxes only work in HD. So for the first time you can warch in UHD in all rooms.

I got skyglass on a firestick and its £65 every year but i get to watch new films and series that should be in the cinema

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.

THANKS* Very Much For your opinion on sky glass tv as you say its not worth it.. sky glass is not in republic of Ireland yet its suppose to LAUNCH soon so I`m Glad you told me....so ill just stick to skyQ.

Thanks!

I have a sky+HD box and it's a freeview box without a subscription, can't even use it to record programs on freeview.

Go out and buy a pioneer Kuro with speakers, best sound you’ll ever hear from any tv.

Thank you. Best review on KZfaq. 1 I have Q 2 I have home cinema 5.1 Amp and speakers 3 I watch films on a Sony 4K projector or a 120 inch screen 4 I fast forward all ads by saying “skip 4 minutes” = Will never get Sky Glass. Thank you fir pointing out all those negatives. It’s too much of a compromise

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.

Just switched to sky glass from virgin... I was paying £89 with virgin on there old ultimate oomph bundle but now they have stopped it I have to upgrade to different packages and it would put the cost upto £167 a month!!! That's right neally double the price 😂 so... Iv looked at prices ect... Stay with virgin for just broadband (I can't get fibre from by landline yet in my area so have to be with virgin if I want good speeds and I really need it with kids gaming haha) that's £31.50 a month for 500mb... Then £62 a month for glass 65" with 1 puck, total's £93.50 then take out a 8gb SIM (in replace for one iv lost from virgin) £8 so in total that's £101.50 ... I'm my opinion that's better than paying £167 a month to stay with virgin haha.. and tbh we had a 50inch TV that's was LED so picture quality defoo better.. we had a standard sound bar (which will now go in my room) so I think I done okay haha and stops my son pulling on the virgin wires through the house he's only 11 months lmaoo

I bought the 55inch and hate it news programmes i like not there, Fi set on playback not recorded apparently I dont pay for HD when all there channels are HD. I want to send it back Any Idea's. ?

It has got Dolby Atmos, so that's a plus I suppose

Thanks for the review. Had my 65in Glass for 48 hours and it’s going back. Poor picture quality with ghosting and banding while watching sport and constant freezing. If I’m totally honest a potential great product, but at this point it’s not ready for market and the panels used are not up to the job. Back to Sky Q for me.

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

Hi Sam, great video. However, you don't answer the key question on what happens if you leave Sky. Will the TV still work with another provider?

Thank goodness I watched this.. ill still to Q, thanks Q..

Still have no answers from anywhere about the following, what happens when you finish you contract do you own the TV? Can you use it as a normal TV with Ariel and free view without sky subscription.

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

Time to update your costing info.

May not have 120 HRZ but when I plugged it into my Xbox I got Dolby vision and VRR enabled .

I have sky + I can’t have sky Q because we have a communal dish which serves all the apartments also if the dish goes down I have no sky.so I am looking into sky glass

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?

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?

interesting what you said but i'm going from q to glass because for 6 monthe of the year i can hardly get sky at all because of leaves on the trees.

I love the concept but after watching reviews etc, not for me lol

I’m interested but no good to me, I want a 32” tv as anything bigger I can’t have in my living room. So a customer lost there. Not everyone has rooms large enough to accommodate a very large screen tv.

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!!!

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.

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?

I would avoid this cos energy F is too high for electricity bill.. my Samsung 50" 4k uhd is AAA++ and use sky q uhd box with1tb hard drive that prefect...

Just wanna add ,I have just bought an O led tv 55" with 4x 2.1 HDMI and 120hz panel for £799.99

Was up for this till it said its only 60hz for gaming

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.

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.

It will go the same way as the sky soundbox -- 2 years later never to be seen again. Oled and Denon is the way to go

Unsure if I want it

You compared sky glass with Dolby atoms with a sound bar without Dolby atmos

I can watch everything I want here on You Tube, thank you. I don't need a bloody TV.

Would Sky fit the sky glass on the wall if you was unable to do it yourself

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.

Funnily enough your presentation is like a sky news reporter 😅

No scart socket either

Was Going to buy the 65inch Thank you so so much for thi Review save myself a fortune that Sky glass TV is TOTALLY SHIT 👍💯

Same as I won't touching this TV. I personally have got Samsung Q95T Denon x3700h amp dolby atmos. This would definitely be down grade.

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.

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

A pile of rubbish !!! Straight up fit for the bin

Video begins…. “So before you order Sky Glass” Me who’s had it since the 18th of October: 😬

Now people are getting used to the format noone cares if it can record or not. However as a business, if there were demand for it I am sure a hard drive can be encorperated. Can you get a 3rd party storage device to conjectvto one of the hdmi ports
