You'll need to pop down the hardware store and get some sky hooks to hold that up.

Work colleagues other half works for Sky. They were given a Glass set to trial at home for a month last year, and found it was plagued with problems (shit picture quality, drop-outs, etc). They live in London and not the boonies.
Sky were, evidently, bricking it upon release as they knew the technology wasn't up to scratch and the launch was already announced. May well have improved since, with the problems apparent then being overcome.
Unless you live in a flat where dish install is impossible/impracticle, or have third-world internet, would avoid it like the plague.

I thought this was just for silly cunts that chose to love down a fucking well or something that can't get a signal with a dish? Why would anyone downgrade to it if they got Q? Q's bad enough.

Asked a Sky engineer if Sky Glass was any good.
He said stick with the box, much better.

fs, you mean Sky Go compared with satellite dish services?
Sky Go would use more bandwidth

is the sky go app deliberately shit? genuinely worse quality than most half decent streams. is it...
1) a cost saving measure to save bandwidth
2) their tech is just shit and they won't pay to upgrade it
3) they want you to use their proper box hooked up to your TV so deliberately make the app a wank experience?

Sky will always retain its customers that live the user interface and don’t want to get confused with modern IPTV / Streaming services.
There a many Sky customers that don’t even have Broadband

If sky had any sense they would learn from Spotify and the world of file sharing and torrents.
The route to success for them is to vastly reduce their cost of services, go fully IPTV, and adopt a low cost longer tail approach.
I'm sure those of us that are "alledgedly" giving a dodgy IPTV organisation 5 to 10 quid per month, would readily go legit with sky if the full package was piped to us for £15 to £20 per month.
But whilst they want to rip individuals for £1000 a year to watch TV that can be had for a tenth of that cost in not to difficult a manner, they will just become an increasingly less relevant service.

I've thought that it is a way to get a telly on tick?.
I can't speak for everyone but as the old saying goes 'a fool and his money are easily parted'.

I agree - but a lot of the elderly prefer to use a TV guide with record facility

Last roll of the dice by sky to keep people in their infrastructure
Its all out of date though and consumers know. Beginning of the end unless they come up with better ideas

It's also very dependant on the quality of your broadband, isn't it?

Re: Sky Glass - any good?
I’m confused on the reason to have it
There are a lot of potential customers that can’t have a Sky dish due to Conservation or Line of Sight issues.
Also, some customers don’t want cables exposed or a dish on their house

I sent my one back
Tv picture is shit.
The Samsung tv I’ve got was top of the range 4 years ago and is still superior picture quality wise.
