You should also now have a skip adverts button if you have the ad skip pack.

@Alex+Ricote IMHO it is the best update we have had all year with the Skip add button being the best feature 😀. The continue watching rail enhancements are also useful. Having a Stream puck I don't get the extra vivid but by all accounts tyhat is quite good as well.

I'm based in Republic of Ireland

I have the latest build version QS34.022.00P and have the ad skipping subscription

I have not yet noticed any skip adverts button on Sky on demand content during playback

Instead on some select sky on demand content that I have checked since the update so far there are no adverts at all during playback so that might explain why I don't see any skip ad button as it's not required.

Also we still not yet got the Apple HomeKit App for airplay on Sky Glass in Republic of Ireland

Why is airplay function on Sky Glass UK only at the moment

The extra vivid picture option on sky glass is good really only for UHD Content that has HDR

It's not great with SDR content as it's to bright and skin colour of faces during a live broadcast is not a natural skin colour

I don't like the fact they have removed the apps tile from the first rail and not even moved the apps up to compensate, it was handy having that at the top!! Also there is a premier league rail we don't even have sky sports and many don't.

I like the extra detail on the continue rail though.

Sky change which rails are visible and the order of them on a regularly basis and do this outside of software updates.

@slaters I agree with you but unfortunately there is nothing we can do about it as the order is controlled by Sky. It is not ever likely to happen but it would be great if we could edit the homescreen rails to suit our individual viewing preferences.

New picture setting

Has the Extra vivid picture setting just appeared, because I have just noticed it tonight when changing from sport. First impressions are good.

Re: New picture setting

Yes this is new in the latest software version (QS034.022.00P).

@bayardm Seeing as you have had the latest update withe the extra vivid mode you should also notice some improvements to the Continue Watching rail, Favourites and the Skip Adds button (if you are subscribed to add skipping). I think it is the most useful update we have had this year.

The update I really want them to do is remove the 'Watch From Start' popping up for a while just when entering or changing a channel. Amount of times I've accidentally activated that is crazy. If I want to watch a program from the start I just want to be able to press the middle button on a channel to bring up the mini guide and then select 'Watch from start' there. No accidents that way and so no time wasting.

Sky glass tv favourites

Hi I have sky glass has anyone else suddenly found that the number of channels you can have in favourites has been reduced to 49 so 11 of the channels I had in my favourites have disappeared I read somewhere that you are supposed to be able to have up to 99 has this changed or is it a problem with the sky glass.

Re: Sky glass tv favourites

Paul+Boland — Tue, 17 Dec 2024 20:04:20 GMT

@Miket71

QS34.022.00P Build Version

It's now max 49 channels you can add to favourites.

It's no longer 99 channels

You can choose to manually select 49 channels or set to auto instead that will select channels that's added to favorites based on what channels you are viewing regularly.

To scroll through all channels you will need to use TV Guide instead.

I have a stream puck not glass so haven't seen it but 'extra vivid mode' sounds like a screen calibrator's worst nightmare 😁

Problem with favourites

Miket71 — Wed, 18 Dec 2024 17:31:19 GMT

Having just found out that the number of channels you can have in your favourites has been more than halved from 99 to 49 which is bad enough I went to the trouble of redoing my favourite channels list and put them in the order I wanted to and lo and behold today when I have turned the tv on not only has it got rid of 21 of the channels I had put in the list but it seems to have just added channels that I did not put in there and they are not in any kind of order anyone else having this problem

Re: Problem with favourites

Jporch316 — Wed, 18 Dec 2024 17:38:20 GMT

are you sure you selected the right button ? There is a button to let the system add favourites that you watched the most - you may have selected this instead of your selection
