Sky Glass Delivered

Geayson — Tue, 19 Oct 2021 06:09:04 GMT

I thought I would open this chat for everybody for the arrival of their Sky Glass to share experience and images to discuss what we are finding and if anybody has a question that we could answer that might be the make or brake for them buying (when they can)

I've woke this morning to see the tracking hasn't changed on the panther website and my order status is showing as "in progress" does that mean I'm getting my sky glass today or not 🤔

Did I read somewhere that you can pay a bit extra to get your Sky Glass delivered next day, or at least quicker than the standard "3-5 days"? I am hopefully going to order one today from the local Sky Store and can't guarantee I'll be there for a delivery towards the end of the week.

It's £25 next day delivery

Geayson — Tue, 19 Oct 2021 06:57:36 GMT

@gryffe like me if you are getting a puck and have multi room already your first puck is free so you will still be £25 up if you pay for next day delivery

Two questions I would appreciate feedback on are -

The delay compared to Sky Q. Could make having a little flutter on games frustrating. Know this might be hard to answer as Q closes down when you activate

and.

The speed of moving between live channels and how long these take to kick in to HD. Again appreciate this might be down to BB speed but these are two niggles I have moving from Sat based delivery.

Thanks in advance! Enjoy!

Just had mine delivered Told them I would unpack it so they just put it all in the conservatory.I am about to un pack it

Re: Sky Glass Delivered

nogimmix — Tue, 19 Oct 2021 07:26:47 GMT

I am number 2 for delivery, so between 8:32 and 10:32.

The tracking shows they have to drive from Hertfordshire to Kent, so the way the M25 is that could be tomorrow 😀

Re: Sky Glass Delivered

sammyh98 — Tue, 19 Oct 2021 07:29:49 GMT

@jasensteve I'm excited for you. 😂

Glad they allowed you to unpack it, hope they'll do that for me on Thu. 🤞

If anyone gets a 43" today I'd appreciate their thoughts on wall mounting? Does the Sky flush mount look doable or is a standard VESA mount the way to go. If so is the 43 " VESA mount 400x400?

Re: Sky Glass Delivered

lettice — Tue, 19 Oct 2021 07:37:13 GMT

First question would be,
Before you activate, what capabilities does the TV have before sky activation, so being a non Sky dumb TV.
What apps are available, if any?

How does the use of the aerial and freeview channels work and display like?

Jon+Reeve — Tue, 19 Oct 2021 07:38:35 GMT

I have BT TV at the moment and when I change streaming channels, the HD is there instantly. I do have 500Mbps but still there's no delay or anything at all.

Some live programmes always start on time, like the BBC News and any football match. So check the actual time when the whistle blows (the clock on the bottom of the Mini Guide banner and the top of the Home screen doesn't show seconds so for accuracy, check the system clock on your laptop or phone…or maybe the Glass TV has a time server in date & time settings). Do it on Q and then do it again on Glass. Post results.
