Thanks for the review mate. I'm really tempted to get one but had some concerns. I appreciate you sharing your experience. I'll have a think and see if it's for me. Regards the unavailability of programmes in your watchlist I think the reason they weren't available later is because Glass has no internal storage and uses cloud. Sky's rights to make it available on their cloud storage expire after a while so they remove the programme. It remains available on Sky Movies etc as they still have the rights for that. Rights cost money. That's my understanding of it anyway! Previously, and storing things on local storage would keep it available until you deleted it (unless some DRM checks were done at tie of playing it)

Just a quick thing. There is no ‘cloud’ for Sky Glass. It doesn’t record anything anywhere. It simply uses the apps for non Sky channels, and just triggers a stream for Sky channels. When you add something to your playlist, all you are doing is logging a reference to whatever app it needs to use to play it. That was a disappointing shock when I first got my Sky Glass.

Thanks for this video. To the people asking, the puck is what you attach to a different tv for example the one in your bedroom or kitchen. You pay a monthly fee for each puck. I was quoted £19 for sky ultimate inc Netflix, tv, £6 for sky ultra and Dolby, £12 whole home (1 puck) £5 for add skipping. In total it amounted to £66 tv package and £38 broadband. About £2 less a month than I’m currently paying. I’ve been a loyal customer for 23 years. I asked about sky go on my iPad which I currently use quite a bit. In order to still receive this I’d have to take out a sim only contract too. My broadband is currently useless. I don’t know what to do for the best? I don’t actually need another TV but I was thinking if it’s going to cost me the same as I’m already paying then maybe I should get it? It’s very confusing 🫤

One of the major issues with Sky glass is it doesn’t have an internal hard drive so on other Sky products, you would record programs as they were available and they would be stored on the hard drive of the skybox, but Sky glass streams everything live and cannot store pre-recorded programs which is why you have the issue where if it’s not available when you want to watch you won’t be able to see it.

Sky Glass is one of the worst products ever made. Everytime you rewind or forward something your streaming, you get 5 mins of adverts. Rewind 5 seconds, watch 5 mins of ads. Forward 10 seconds, another 5 mins of ads. Imagine rewinding or forwarding 10 times, that's 50 mins of ads, plus the standard ads too. What a joke of a product. The worst thing is live Sports. Like if you miss goals from a live football match, rewind/forward to find the goals, EVERY time you press play = 5 mins of ads. Its beyond infuriating.
