For the first time in the UK, you will now be able to get Sky TV over WiFi, with no satellite dish, no box and no fuss as Sky announce the launch of Sky Glass.
Sky Glass also does away with the need for a nest of electronics cables for their audio, with six integrated speakers and a sub-woofer.
Speaking at the launch, Dana Strong, Group Chief Executive, Sky said: “Sky Glass is the streaming TV with Sky inside, providing the total integration of hardware, software and content. Built on over 30 years of understanding what our customers want, this is a TV that only Sky could make. We believe this is the smartest TV available, and that customers will love it.”
Sky Glass comes in a choice of three sizes (Small 43”, Medium 55” and Large 65”) and five rich colours
Sky Glass is the world’s first TV to be certified as a CarbonNeutral® product. Sustainably designed, it has low power features built in such as auto-switch-off and auto-adjusting screen brightness helping it to be more energy efficient. It is the only TV to come in recyclable packaging, free from single-use plastic and by using a TV with everything built in, you reduce electricity consumption by up to 50%i.
Consumers will be able to either buy it in one go or to spread the cost with interest-free monthly payments in the same way they do when purchasing a mobile phone.
Sky Glass will be available from £13 per month for the 43″ screen, but consumers will also need a Sky TV subscription, taking the cost to £39 per month.
The 55″ screen is available for £17 a month, and the 65″ screen for £21 a month on top of the Sky TV subscription, and all three will begin retailing from 18 October.
The full price is £649 (43″), £849 (55″) and £1049 (65″).
The new streaming TV from Sky is available to buy in the UK from 18 October and will launch in Sky’s other European markets from 2022.
