Sky Glass and Sky Stream – the best new ways to enjoy a world of entertainment
Promotional feature with Sky
Sure, streaming a box set on a laptop in bed or watching the latest news on your phone may be convenient, but still nothing rivals the big-screen experience. When it comes to big match days, movie premieres or a Saturday night date with Strictly, the living room is still the venue to beat – and your living room TV is the ultimate portal to that world of entertainment.
With the TV so central to our lives, why should we have to compromise on style and how lovely our living spaces (and exteriors) look when it comes to accepting a mess of multiple boxes, screens and satellite dishes with all their sprouting cables and leads? Well now you don't have to...
Sky Glass isn't just a smart TV – it's a smarter TV. It's got Sky inside so you don't have to switch feeds or plug in extra boxes to find your next must-watch show. Every channel, every programme and every app is there for you in one place.
And for those that don't want to replace their existing TV, there's the all-new Sky Stream. Just like Sky Glass, it offers the best entertainment streamed straight to any TV over Wi-Fi, with no dish or installation required. Just plug in your Sky Stream box, and you're ready to discover a world of TV shows, music and movies in minutes.
Choose a colour that complements your decor
Sometimes picking the right set for your space can be a bit overwhelming, but not with Sky. The elegantly designed Sky Glass comes in exactly three screen sizes – a 43-inch for cosy living rooms, a medium 55-inch set or a large 65-inch TV that's perfect for big viewing parties.
And if you want your TV to blend in with your decor while turned off, Sky Glass has you covered, too. It's available in five unique colourways, including Ocean Blue, Ceramic White, Racing Green, Dusky Pink and Anthracite Black, and all with a matching remote.
Minimalists will love the black or white options that blend seamlessly with any space. Or if you're into maximalist colour drenching or clashing, you can go bold in blue or green. For an even more personalised look, you can even match the customisable speaker fascias.
But when it's turned on that Sky glass makes its ultimate impact. Sky's Quantum Dot technology brings purer, more accurate colours to the big screen, so everything looks crisper, punchier and more true to nature. Sky Glass is a billion colours better, whether you're watching a wildlife documentary or players on a football pitch.
Easy access to a world of content
With Sky Glass, you're only an instant voice command away from the content you want to watch. There's no need to painstakingly punch in the name of the show – just say it.
Create playlists so you'll always have something to watch next. Just press the Playlist '+' button to add anything from the TV guide, home screen, on-demand, and even live TV. Search with your voice and content from any app like Disney+, Amazon Prime, and Netflix can be added, too. And if you run out of ideas, trust Sky Glass to recommend shows you'll love.
Not at home? Sky Glass will record your shows and store them safely in the cloud, ready to access whenever you need them. And if you miss the start of a programme that grabs your attention, just say or select 'watch from start' to see it in full.
Affordable, convenient and clutter-free viewing
If you've never considered Sky before because your location won't allow for a satellite dish or thought it was out of your price range, Sky Glass will change all that. As everything happens through WiFi, there's no need for a dish, and you can pay for your Sky Glass TV just like a phone, with 0% interest packages starting from just £13 a month*.
You won't have to attach any extras to your Sky Glass to access and enjoy any of the content you love – not even a surround sound system. The built-in 360 Dolby Atmos soundbar takes your listening experience to the next level – by placing sounds around you in the room, you're fully immersed in every cheer for a goal, high-speed car chase or live concert.
What's more, Sky Glass is the world's first TV to be certified as a CarbonNeutralⓇ product, having been sustainably designed by bringing 3 devices in 1 and with low power features built in, such as auto-switch off. Not only is it more efficient to choose a TV with everything built in, it is the only TV to arrive in recyclable packaging with is free from single-use plastic.
It's a TV that doesn't cost the earth, in every respect.
Introducing Sky Stream – the power of Sky Glass in the palm of your hand
If you're still in love with your existing TV, there's a new way to give it the power of Sky Glass and it comes in a palm-sized package. Sky Stream is the convenient new way to get Sky without a dish and without investing in a new set. Just plug the Sky Stream box into your TV, and enjoy all that Sky has to offer over WiFi. Just like Sky Glass, there's no dish to deal with, so you're not restricted in where you enjoy your favourite shows.
There's always something to watch with Sky Stream, and it's all in one place. Aside from unmissable shows you won't find on Freeview (hello there, House of Dragon and Gangs of London), you'll find top entertainment, music and fitness apps. Apple TV+, Amazon Prime, Disney+, BBC iPlayer, ITV Hub, All4, YouTube, Discovery+, Peacock, Fiit... the list goes on and on.
There's no jumping from app to app or getting lost in endless menus. Instead, you can use your voice to conjure up the show you want instantly – say 'Succession' and it will appear on screen, ready to watch. Or browse through your favourite genres, whether you're in the mood for a good laugh with some Comedy, or want to enjoy the next big match in Sport.
Sky at its most affordable and flexible
Sky Stream is the most affordable way to get Sky TV and Netflix together. And if you're not ready to commit to a contract, there's a 31-day rolling plan that can be cancelled at any time.
Either option includes Sky Ultimate TV and Netflix Basic. You can then add on extra packs and services such as BT Sport or Sky Cinema. Choose the latter, and you'll get Paramount+ at no extra cost.
Upgrade to the Whole Home pack, and you can have up to five additional Sky Stream devices wherever you’d like in your home. So your teen can rock out to their favourite music channels in their own room, while you indulge in that new series of The Crown.
