@LilMo1290 I love the streaming platform in general but I traded in my Glass TV a year ago and moved to an OLED Smart TV with soundbar and Sky Stream puck. I find I now have a much better viewing experience.

Originally I moved to the streaming platform as I moved home and lost access to a satellite dish. I now have access to a dish again but have remained on the streaming platform. I prefer the convenience of streaming rather than having to wait for programmes to be broadcast so I can record them. Streaming is not perfect but neither was Sky Q.

Hi @LilMo1290

Good to hear. I've had far less issues with it and 4 pucks in the last nearly three years ive had it than I did with many years of Q. There are a few quirks which take getting used to and the product has come on leaps and bounds with new functions and improvements with each software release.

The main thing is fast and stable broadband which is where a lot of people fall down. The other thing with the community is that generally we only see the people who have issues, not the many who have the product and have no cause to visit the community so it's good to see a positive post every now and then!

Love ours - in bed watching the last couple of episodes of Ludwig on our 43" dusky pink. No, the sound doesn't compare with our AV separates downstairs, but the sound for a built-in sound system is terrific. Dialogue is full & clear, picture looks fine (SDR for Ludwig).

Mrs loves it; no having to deal with multiple remotes and she also finds the search/p,aylist across all of our subscribed services to be much better than jumping in and out of apps trying to find her shows & films. Our 18 month introductory offer for Sky Ent & Netflix plus Sky Cinema recently ended. She was entirely happy going for the same package on a 24 month commitment.

I won't disagree that the same money will buy a better picture with a Stream puck. Likewise the sound can be bettered by some midrange soundbars. The appeal & simplicity of the all in one design with Sky inside shouldn't be overlooked though, just ask my wife.

Still rocking my 55 and still glad the ugly dish has gone and I no longer need a separate soundbar 😃

Had my 55inch sky glass since November 2021 and love it

I don't miss my Samsung tellys or the Sony one.

The Sony one had a beautifully crisp picture but it had an annoying feature where it would tell you which port it was running on in top of the screen all the time.

Puck was very slow I found

I'd love to know how people find the 65 inch one.

but very happy with my 55 inch blue glass.

Amazing!

I loved my 65 inch glass. Before mine developed a serious fault outside of warranty I never had any issues with it and it just continued to get better and better.

it was the way customer services handled things afterwards is what turned me away from Sky. Still waiting for 2 promised callbacks now from last week.

LilMo1290 — Sun, 24 Nov 2024 22:37:20 GMT

What's the serious fault ?

How long have you had your Sky Glass TV ... do you have Sky Protect insurance?

Re: Sky Glass is brilliant

LilMo1290 — Mon, 25 Nov 2024 07:11:32 GMT

Had the main one a while

2 new ones upstairs in the bedroom

no insurance

Re: Sky Glass is brilliant

Exiled-in-HH — Mon, 25 Nov 2024 07:41:09 GMT

Would that be more or less than 2 years?

Re: Sky Glass is brilliant

LilMo1290 — Mon, 25 Nov 2024 08:13:26 GMT

No only about a year I'd say

how come ?

Re: Sky Glass is brilliant

Exiled-in-HH — Mon, 25 Nov 2024 15:23:03 GMT

Getting Sky Protect-Devices would be a good idea unless you've already got it😉

The picture went. It looked like a negative from an old photograph. Went through diagnostics and confirmed a screen failure. Yeah in hindsight I should have taken Sky Protect. But I also know a TV at that price point should probably last longer that 3 years.
