The most impressive thing so far is that they appear to be listening to people's complaints and updating overnight. Obviously it would have been better to get everything right first time but signs are good. I am tempted.
Thank you for this I got to looking at all the forums and a lot of negative comments but your video as changed my ole view this as definitely got potential
Hi, everything has potential just like Q did when it first came out.
I think ppl just don’t like change but I think personally this is the way forward with tv.
Great video very informative, mine is arriving on Monday cannot wait to try it out, as you say it is definitely the way forward. Some people just like to complain about everything
Literally got ours this morning,still playing with it and learning .
No real grumbles , it’s gonna take me time
U will get there.
Fun to learn.😁😁
Thank you - great review. I wondered with the ‘Whole Home’ contract if you get multiple remote controls? I’m assuming you do. Many thanks
Thank you I am getting mine today. That was really helpful.
Thank u.👍🏻
Thank you so much for an in-depth and friendly review
Thank you very much
Excellent review, exactly what I wanted to see, thanks, my mind is now made up 👍👍
Glad I could help.
Some people are easily fooled.
@@raybuchan8298 how so?
Very helpful, and informative looking forward for the next video and the tv looks good too pictures
Thank you. Glad it’s helping some ppl out.
i will keep my Q box just now until they put a hard drive in it
My thought exactly, no way to record anything! It will keep your favourites, but the films, and documentaries will not be there forever. I'll stick with Sky Q for the time being.
So what if you try to 'record' something that's not available on catch up? -- e.g. a film on BBC Two might not necessarily be on the iPlayer.
ATM everything I tried seems to be there, but I have heard of some issues of stuff not being on the playlists to catch up with, I suppose it’s tuff luck then and have to wait for it to appear hopefully in time, personally that would not bother me as plenty of stuff these days to watch, but I would say the big titles will always be on catchup channel’s
Great review mate most informal one I’ve seen so far, I’ve had it 24 hours now and love it! Only issue for me is the aspect ratio on Netflix and Disney makes certain films picture change making the screen shorter which is annoying, can’t seem to change it on their apps either
Have u gone into settings as u can change your aspect ratio, I did see it there, I left mine on auto.👍🏼
@@h18pdwphotography yes I changed it to full screen but on certain apps it still makes the screen smaller for some reason
Much prefer local hard drive recordings that I control and available immediately and cannot n be removed by the channel whenever they want, plus I can fast forward the adverts.
Tbh I absolutely love mine.
Sound and picture is great quality (,Had a new 58" Bravia before so it hasd some competition) But ps5 looks amazing aswell. I'd like a rec function
We love ours. I will do another update video tomoz😃
You think the ps5 looks good on this have a laugh mate, the tv is a poor man tv no question about this at all,
When are they releasing this as a standalone device? Not interested in the TV which is likely an average display at best.
Not sure.
That won't happen. NOW is the service for getting Sky content without the Sky Q box or Sky Glass TV.
Give me Sky Q every time.
Good video, wonder how it would handle shows that are not high profile if you know what I mean like non popular shows. Think I would miss the ability to record.
Can you find out how to delete your programmes in playlist?
I think stuff updates each week as for bugs in software sounds like sky going to update tv frequently so most of this will be ironed out I assume by 2022 launch to non sky customers. I think at present they launched it for sky diamond and sky platinum customers only and proved very popular
Updates will iron out loads of stuff in time.
We're getting it next Friday as a new customer.
Can you browse tv? Up and Down program buttons or type in the channel number like you can do with a Sky Q box? You probably can't video that due to show TV channels and RUclips and Copyright issues?
Yes u can.👍🏻👍🏻
There is a freeview tunner in the sky glass so you can switch to listen to local radio.
So there's no turner if the internet goes down ... 🤔🤔
It can accept a standard TV aerial, so there must be one in there somewhere.
As below, there is an external to Ariel input.
It still looks like there is too much menus & content on this ! I reckon I’ll still be scrolling for hours trying to find something to watch
Thank you VERY much for your video - it's been really helpful. We are thinking about sky glass - we weren't aware it used, for eg, itv hub. Keep hearing things about relentless ads although I believe you can skip them for 12 months? Looking forward to your next upload 👍
Thank u
Yes u can skip adverts like u say but it diff to q if u have it.
Thus not seeing the adverts go fast forward, u have to guess but I getting used to it now.
I wonder what type of consumer this TV appeals too as going onto the Sky Glass website, there doesn't appear to be any info on the make and model no. of this TV only the Sky features (I normally use a top end OLED). I like the fact that you don't need a dish and it's streaming, though i currently get all the Sky channels i need with NOW and apps using Roku and if this TV or internals fail, presumably you've had it?!
Hi there.
The company are to vision who makes the tv itself link below
www.hitc.com/en-gb/2021/10/08/who-makes-sky-glass-tv/
It has a 2 year warranty.
Try uhd Dolby videos on RUclips. They're not copyrighted
What I was trying to imply was I did not want to show any channels on my walkthrough due to copyright issues. All these socials lately are getting so strict what you can and cannot upload lol.
I see you are also having the flicker problem. As i am.. Look at the top of the screen right of centre. every so often there will be a flicker. This is a problem with the Back light leds. Related to the Local Dimming. Seems there may be an issue with either the programing of how the local dimming is implemented. Sky are aware of it. I cant see it being a software fix. But hopefully it is. Once you see it, you cant un see it.
I do have a slight Flickr I agree, looks worse on that video tbh, I noticed it also goes after a min or 2 on certain programmes
@@h18pdwphotography There’s a new firmware update on its way. It fixes it. According to the people testing it.
Thankyou for the informal and honest review.
When you have watched an episode of a show is it markedup as viewed when you go in to a series again? We're arr terrible at keeping track of where we are upbto in series and whether we have already watched movies in the past, i couldnt spot anything in your video but apologies if i missed it
Hi there, no it does not seem to show which was the last viewed not unless u go into the Home Screen and it maybe shows in playlist at the beginning of the lists.
I will do some digging on that ok.
@@h18pdwphotography does it have channels like old ? Like tune to 106
@@Techandgadgetreviews11 u do get the old style channels also but there are some that have been removed with glass.
But main ones are all still there.
@@h18pdwphotography ah ok was thinking some people in family still prefer tuning to a channel than using voice. Do u just type in 102 or 401 if u need that channel
@@Techandgadgetreviews11 yes u do.👍🏻
I didn’t see ‘Arial’ on the input list , does the TV have an arial slot?
Hi yes it does.👍🏻
Hi @H18-PDW Photography, Please can you advise on how the live TV is streamed? i am currently using an LG Smart TV with all the seperate apps and with a firestick for All4 and ITV. Does Sky utilise its own TV streaming service or does it send you to the seperate apps like the recordings/bookmarks do? From what i understand you cannot show live TV on RUclips reviews so havent been able to see it in action. Thank you.
Live stream is just like sky q so to speak with channel listings, but if u want to watch back you then tap into the relevant channel apps, but it auto puts into your playlist, u hit playback then it opens that app.
Would you mind checking if TalkSPORT is on there as a radio channel? I can’t seem to find a full channel list online. Many Thanks
It’s got a talk sport on radio player app.👍🏻
Got it on now here to check. Clear also.👍🏻
Thing is there’s so many tv channels missing like all itv plus stations now music channels talking pictures are missing from sky glass
Good review. Is everything available to be added to the playlist? I.e. live sport to watch the next day or if you want to start from the start but missed the first half of a game? Or is it just things that typically will be on ‘catch up’.
U add things to your playlist just like the old Q so to speak where as that is recording, this is on the servers waiting, so long as it’s available to play back.
Hiya! Your video has really helped me as I'm currently wsiting for my TV to arrive. What scared me was the whole recording shows etc. Can you pause the TV? Thanks Louise!
Hi,my screen seems really white at certain angles...and suggestion on what to do?
Ohh I’m. It sure on that tbh. If it’s really bad I would speak to sky just in case.
Hi. Thanks for sharing. When you watch Corrie on ITV hub from a previous day (within your playlist), is it in HD though? Can you skip the adverts, and easily stop watching and pick up where you left off? Thanks
Funny u should ask that.
Watched football tonight now on Corrie lol.
It’s in hd yes,
U can skip adverts.
Seems to be around 5 each time ok.👍🏻
@@h18pdwphotography great! Cheers
I believe that Sky give a 12 month freebie on the fast forwarding of adverts.
But after that, will be a charged feature, fiver a month.
Of course you can not pay that, but then sit through them
@@mumfnah then it’s a good job the contract is rolling monthly so you can ditch this nonsense easily in a year. £5 to skip adverts. No thanks Sky
Good review very helpful👍 Does it have inputs for spdif cables so you can connect your own surround sound system? According to what information i can gleam from the internet it doesn’t.Also is picture quality as good as a normal 4k uhd telly.
Hi there, it only has 3 HDMI ports and a USB port.
I not tried my old sound bar as yet as have a hi end one, but talk old sound bars don’t work so will be testing mine later today.
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 ?
I was watching another video where they tried to add Frasier to the playlist, but it didn't work because that isn't on the C4 catch up app. Have they fixed that?
I saw that video also I think, I am not sure on that particular programme as I don’t watch it, but can try later if u wish, I also had so far touch wood, no issues with stuff going into my playlist.
I’ve tried that and can confirm it doesn’t work.
There seems to be confusion over if items have to be available on demand to be added to a playlist or whether it adds it to the cloud as per Sky’s marketing material.
@@paulwalker6230 what it from a Sky channel?
@@paulwalker6230 Thanks. A bit of an oversight this and certainly not something Sky are making clear.
Hi thank you for this very formative review, best I’ve seen so far. Is the screen size inclusive of the speaker or is 65” just the tv screen. Thank you
65 is screen size corner to corner like normal.👍🏻
@@h18pdwphotography perfect thank you. I’m on the waiting list, so will have my own eventually
Had mine 2 days now..not impressed with the picture..I've messed around with the settings and I'm not happy
The sound is really good thougg
Have u seen my video with picture settings and how I did mine.??
It’s in playlists sky Glass.
Ours was the same now I seem to have to it right my our environment
This will go the same way as sky soundbox
The category for example, 'must see movies';
Are you able to select which sources it pulls from, like you can to a degree with Chromecast with Google TV?
So if you didn't have the Sky Movies subscription, it doesn't keep showing films from that source and instead only pull from Netflix, Prime, as user defined?
Good video demo 👍
I have full sky subscription so not sure if it would do that tbh.
But also I don’t have Disney + but it showing stuff for that streaming service. So I presume it shows all.
Hope that helps.
@@h18pdwphotography yeah that figures, hoping to tempt people I guess to buy it when they promoting new films.
With CCGTV I can set some filters, to exclude some apps/services I don't subscribe to, but cannot remove the Google paid films showing.
Seems a similar thing, guess is advertising space for them on your homescreen eh.
Cheers for checking
You will see all Sky has to offer, just like with Sky Q you see all the channels and all the apps. If you add a programme to your playlist that is part of an app that you don't subscribe to, you will still be able to add to your playlist but when the app loads up it will prompt you to log in.
You can fit a sat dish to sky glass if internet fail.
U cannot as no input for the dish inputs
Only power
3 HDMI
1 usb c socket
Old style Ariel socket.
That’s all the connections on the tv.
You cannot have Sky Q and Sky Glass at the same time. At the point of receiving Sky Glass, you have a 30 days cooling off period and if you choose to keep it, you have a further 30 days left to return the Sky Q equipment (returns packaging is sent out when the Sky Glass TV is). You can choose to cancel Sky Glass in the first 30 days if it's not for you and your Sky Q box can be re-connected.
No you can't the whole point of this is it doesn't need a dish so it doesn't have any sockets on the back to hook a dish upto
Wonder if you could mirror your iphone/ipad via Bluetooth on it
Nope, this isn't supported.
No it can’t.🥲
Hi mate , great review I have the same one. Is urs on the wall and if so how did you get it up , I never got a wall bracket
Hi yes it is. There is a metal plate in the stand box that goes onto the wall, also the instructions are the tv template to hang
Hi from Swansea, May i say at the moment the world is NOT ready for SKY GLASS I really think YOU want it to work but you never know.
Is there a way of getting Freeview to work with Sky Glass?
There’s an aerial input, but no Freeview yet. I believe only if your internet goes down and Sky can enable.
No free view but you never know if they can push an update through to it.
There is a Freeview app so if you connect your aerial then free-to-air TV is available while the internet connection is down. If this is not currently built in, it will be soon as all part of the plan.
Excellent review. Thx
Thank you.👍🏼
Do you think if I ask nicely it might do the washing up……..all that content made manageable idea great tv looks great time will tell if its a winner or not seems very popular
🤣🤣
Do you see as by Regional variations on the 900s range?
No regional variations atm showing.
@@h18pdwphotography that is really poor. You pay the licence fee which goes into one big pot and the money is distributed equally. There is no way I will have this Sky Glass. Not enough on it and you Lise your heritage services.
@@h18pdwphotography ho. Please could you put up another video scrolling up the entire channel list you get? Curioys to know what else is missing from this platform. Thanks.
And I mean record scrolling from 191 down until you reach 101 again.
How do u remove programmes for ur playlist
So what’s the alternative to recording programmes then, like you usually would with Sky Q? For instance, the Mrs will always have Coronation Street recording, just incase she’s 10 mins late in sitting down to watch it, then she can play it from the beginning and she usually catches up when the adverts come on. Can you not record anything that’s already on ‘Live’ at all then?
U add to playlists now Not record. So say if your misses is 10 mins late and turns on itv.
It will flash up to say already started do u wish to start from the beginning.
Or just add to your playlist eg today and it will instantly be there once it finished on live tv.
Itv is the worse channel for adverts etc but east to skip them.👍🏻
New video going up tomoz from me.
@@h18pdwphotography thanks for replying 😊 mine is due to be delivered in a couple of weeks so I’m trying to find out as much as I can beforehand 👍🏻
Hello there. Have I got this right. With sky glass , if the internet connection fails you can`t watch anything.
True
Just plug in your aerial just in case
That’s right.
But I suppose if your satellite dish is battered by heavy winds you have the same issue no to.
If your sky dish gets bashed you still have everything this has to offer until its fixed. Catch up Netflix etc
British TV is completely different from Canadian TV.
As in.
Better or worse.?
@@h18pdwphotography I think British TV is better, over here American and Canadian TV treats to the viewers like idiots.
@@Chuck59ish
I’m shocked at that tbh, I thought u would have good service over there.🤷🏼♂️
We have the BBC. ✌️
I'm going to get this tv when it coming out in the USA
Hope it comes out over there.
sky glass is getting so many complaints since release
So did sky Q etc but things get better with time and ppl reviewing stuff. Or else we would never move with the times I guess.
Sky Q was crap too when it first launched
Does sky glass have all the channels or just a few like the ps4 ps5 app?
Ltd channels unlike q but all main ones are there.
They should of added a record button to sky glass
That's what the playlist is for now. It's the new record so to speak. Times are a changing to catch-up tv
Thanks for your great video review. How your sound ? Our is flat no bass etc even tried to add bass booster and still poor ! Not as good as £100 sound bar 😡🤬🤔🧐
We have our own sound bar which is top notch so use that.
But do have tv sound on sometimes later at night as our bedroom above the tv on the wall lol
I Dnt pay fr Sky no I lost my apps how do I get my apps bck after doing a factory reset
Nice review. I’ve no doubt the bugs will be fixed. Sky q was a buggy mess when it first come out and now look at it.
Correct and that’s what I say.
@@h18pdwphotography also great news that Apple and sky have joined forces. I was expecting this to happen despite some telling me Apple will never join sky. They also said same about Disney and prime.
How do u fix a factory reset
Can you change channels by pressing 102 , 103 etc?
Yes u can.👍🏻 when u on watching live tv. Or just say
Hello sky and the number and it changes.😃
Do you get stv on the sky class
hi great video do you have problems dropping from internet?
Hi there, thank you, I have had a couple of issues yes.
I assume if you currently have multi room (screen) you now need a glass tv in every room?
You have sky pucks that are connected to the sky glass TV over your local network via Wi-Fi or ethernet.
These work as an equivalent to the sky Q mini that connect to your Sky Q main box.
The Pucks boxes do output in 4K unlike the mini boxes which just output in 1080p.
I believe the £50 a box and it’s about £10 a month for the actual multiscreen subscription.
You may have to check current pricing because I’m not 100% sure.
If you have sky Q already this really isn’t for you.
Sky glass is specifically designed at this point for people who can’t have a dish or want alternative easy way of accessing sky, if they don’t already have a telly or expensive sound bar/AVR home theatre set up
Cheers.👍🏻👍🏻
@@Eva_H is there a separate remote assigned to each puck?
yes, As I previously stated they’re just glass answer to how the sky Q mini boxes work.
Information on Sky Puck taken from Sky’s website
Sky Stream puck
Size 10.8 x 1.8 x 10.8 cm
Colours Anthracite black
Connectivity 1x HDMI 2.1
230V AC port
Ethernet port
Remote EC (batteries included).
I hope this helps Sarah
Do you know Is the remote control ir and blu tooth thanks
Bluetooth I think like q
Does this show sports Chanel’s in UHD if your watching live?
Sky and bt in uhd live for big matches, watched 2 now and good quality
Does it remove the black bars on movies or is there a setting to remove them
I’ve been struggling with this aswell
Is that the letterbox box that u are on about.
If so have u gone into your settings, I saw when going through them u can change aspect ratio to your needs, it’s default is to auto, which atm I have left mine at. Hope this helps.
@@h18pdwphotography thankyou mine arrives sunday but this has been worrying me as I like go fill the screen when watching movies. Especially when I'm jumping from 43" to 65inches can't wait
Any idea how to change it..I've been trying for days and changed all aspect rarios...none work.
@@deanharrison162 same here but after research on the larger screen if you remove the black bars you loose both sides of the picture or stretch it to much. I've just measured it on my 65" screen we're getting 60" with black bars. Sucks but I'm getting used to it
Can’t see sky glass taking off I personally would want my own tv and box oled not crappy lcd good video tho.👍
I recon in the future Sky Glass will work just like NOW does now as a streaming service, accessed via either an app or external box
Missing SKY Q or Sky Glass FTW?
Basically just Now TV innit?
though it's built into the TV, yes basically
Made by TP Vision who make Philips TV's.
That’s correct, that’s why I cannot understand ppl moaning about it, Phillips are a good brand.
What internet speeds do you have?
Normally around 45mbps on WiFi
Similar to me so I can’t wait till Sunday til mine arrives
How does recording live football work
No recording just add to playlist and it will be there👍🏼
So are you happy with it then was there any issues
Like everything that is new.
Yes there are issues like ppl have seen, sky seem to be doing updates regularly atm.
I been with sky 23years and always had the new stuff. I remember Q and everyone slated that, but look at it now.
So personally my opinion is I like it, times have changed in tv I say.
Some issues need ironing out I agree but hopefully it will be the market leader in months to come. Fingers crossed of course lol
How quick is it to change channels?
Easy enough but remote a bit sluggish I find.
New video from me tomoz again
Is the a delay in live tv?
Seems to be around 5/10 seconds but I can live with that, I had football on last night and my Apple Watch was stating half time etc before to so I timed it later in the game for goals etc.
@@h18pdwphotography thank you
Yeah, 5 seconds delay
Why would you buy this when sky also do now tv far far cheaper??
Just another gimmick for Sky to get more money out of subscribers
Is it supplied with an Ethernet cable??
Supplied only with power cable.
It’s WiFi enabled.
@@h18pdwphotography All up and running with a purchased Ethernet cable. Not blown away by the tv and will reserve judgement on using the software. Thanks for your response.
@@coysproductions1308 Reading the reviews of this actual TV has put me off somewhat, you would think Sky would of supplied a semi-decent TV or better still, choice of TV's
Good tv shame there's nothing on to watch
You are joking sky. Rent a TV 🤣🤣🤣
🤷🏼♂️
You don't rent it. It's yours to keep after you've paid for it. Just like getting a TV from Curry's on finance.
Plus if you cancel it after you've paid for it, it becomes a normal TV.
@@dayonedaveps4939 what's the Apr and warranty?
@@1garymonty 0% apr and 2 year warranty, in fact I believe it’s cheaper to pay for the TV monthly than buy it with one payment
👍🏻👍🏻
👍🏼
Lol there you go just like a sky a box but with a pants tv come on guys it’s pants
Cheap TV and sound system for existing Sky subscribers who don’t want to store content
Great for Sky fans, that’s about it…
Think u need to play around with it a bit more 👍😂
🤣🤣 oh I have now, had it a week and I liking it, yeh some issues but hopefully get ironed out with updates.
@@h18pdwphotography what about your WiFi cap with your provider with all the streaming ?? I would love one 👍!!!
What the price of tv and subscription???
I don't believe it it doesn't even record we are looking for a 75 in so the Sky TV will never come to our house
Poor picture quality on sky news it looks washed out.
It looks better in the flesh trust me.
You won’t watch kids but you’ll watch Eastenders and Crap street, oh dear
If you got Sky Q stick with that. Playlist is a mess.
I agree with playlist issue totally, hopefully things will change for the better like Q did. I’m a sucker for new tech that’s all. Each to their own I guess.
my god the picture is horrific god dam that is suppose to be uhd ? why are the color's so off the white and blacks hurt my eyes
Some mugs will buy anything!
That’s your opinion, if you don’t want it don’t buy it but don’t have a go at people who do
Prob the same person that said that about Sky Q and prob now has it.😉
