Only question I have is will the sky movies be available to watch in 4k like sky q.

@Jr11111sI am sure they will be otherwise it rather defeats the object of glass, also they should show in 4K on the pucks.

The channel list is for linear "broadcast" channels. I beleive UHD Sky Cinema is delivered as on demand content so will be the same selection as on Sky Q

"still no "Great!" film channels"

Every cloud... 😉

I'm fairly certain that we've never watched any of the 3 channels, especially as one of them is an Xmas movies channel (/shudders).

Definitely no RacingTV or BT PPV by the looks although they work on satellite by looking for the Sky viewing card number. I'm not sure how that is going to translate to Glass.

The channel list is now on my FAQ with many other answers 🙂

Even if I was tempted, I wouldn't be now with the poor news selection..... I mean why have Sky news Arabia over Al Jazeera (ok that'll be a sky thing) and CNBC over CNN..

The two news channels I watch the most for international news (AJ also has some decent documentaries like 101 East and Risking it all).... Maybe they'll come later, but for now ...computer says no.

Do you have any information about the £5 per month ad skipping pack which is payable after the first 12 months?

Is this feature only needed for skipping ads in On Demand content or will ad skipping be restricted for programmes added to the cloud playlist from the TV Guide?

What if I pause a live show on ITV, after I resume playback and reach the ads section will I need to have the ad skippping pack to FF through the ads?

Presumably the channels listed are the ones which have contracted with Sky to meet the additional requirements for making Glass work, such as immediate availability of content for subscribers to add to a Playlist, and to populate the required metadata for integrated Voice search.

@TimmyBGood yes that's a good point, it's not just a case of adding a channel, there are complex considerations

I see that there is no Sky Atlantic which is a dealbreaaker for me as it one of their leading channels.
