Q on Glass

Silverfox8 — Sat, 30 Oct 2021 09:58:04 GMT

I am totally confused as sorry for my ignorance but have been reading all the posts about glass.

can you plug in a q box to a glass tv and continue watching q if you cancel but keep glass? My understanding is no they are separate and cannot be mixed. I see that some have kept the glass and returned to the q box meaning using the glass tv stand alone watching free view? I cannot understand this if it's either one or the other you would not be able to watch sky on the glass.

So the issue is you can't have Q & Glass as active subscriptions, it's one or the other. What some posters are referring to is cancelling their Glass Subscription keeping the TV and going back to Q. Q boxes would connect to one of the Glass TV's HDMI ports and the Glas TV would have no Function other than a standard TV.

So you connect a puck to the glass and carry on watching q on glass with a normal subscription.
im hoping that although some posters don't like it , it would be ok for my needs that being able to watch sky on more than 2 TVs at once. My expectations are not so high as maybe others but reserve the right to change my mind.

Benefit for me is new tv 2 more TVs to watch sky on at the same time, and £4 less pm than what I'm paying now. Thanks for reply.

No, the pucks wouldn't work as you will have cancelled the Glass subscription. It would be the Sky Q box you connect as that would be the one with the active subscription.

Hi @Silverfox8 A Sky Q Mini box would not work without a Sky Q Main box connected to a satellite dish. You could then connect any Sky Q box (Main or Mini) to the non-subscribed Glass TV.
