They also say you may need a wifi booster for this as your relying on streaming.
Whatever you take out with Sky Glass your still paying a subscription. Sky want you with them. I can see them getting extra customers particularly with people not with them wanting a new TV.
However what happens when your contract and deal runs out. I always say im looking to cancel. Sending a Sky Q box is no issue. Sending the TV back and possibly needing a new one is another issue.
Im sure it will suit some and this type of service is likely to be the future. Id maybe look in a few years when the other providers end up with this type of service and there is competition.
Did they up your broadband as I hear this was the main problem with buffering etc….great if you need a new tv maybe?Quote:

I looked into it and decided against it.
No recording facility, connection totally reliant on internet. I opted for additional sky q mini boxes instead to extend my main Sky Q box that way rather than going for Sky Glass and 'pucks'.
Broadband is okay - up to four of us working at home on occasions and no issue but just seems a bit glitchy with sky glass - maybe cos it's new and they will iron it all out but Mike's post sums it up more eloquently that I could 👍Quote:

How much are you prepared to pay for a damp box though?Quote:
