Only if you need to get a new tv.
Why not just add another sky q mini box so all your shows are in that too.
Glass doesn’t link up to your Q so you wouldn’t have your recordings on it.
The TVs are very chunky at present but they will improve.

If you need a fucking ugly telly then I'd say it's great!

Seen loads of people sending it back and returning to Sky Q - biggest issues are that the TV itself is shit, and you can't record with it

I’m confused on the reason to have it
Looks great for sky - not only do they tie you in for years but they can sell you a shit TV on a model akin to bright house
Last chance saloon I’d say for sky - everything else is cheaper, better and on an app for all smart tvs. Once the cultural / behavioural bit about Sky passes who would bother?

Joe C - do people need to record TV anymore?
You can get what you want whenever you want. The video replacement / TiVo / skybox stuff is for an older world

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.

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

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

Just use an app on your smart tv
Who needs a dish these days?

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Its all out of date though and consumers know.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

Re: Sky Glass - any good?
I agree - but a lot of the elderly prefer to use a TV guide with record facility

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'.

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.

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

Re: Sky Glass - any good?

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?

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