You can order a wall mount from sky for the gen 2 it's not the same stand as the gen1

USB on Glass is only intended for the Sky Live camera. Perhaps you mean the HDMI ports?

One option might be to add short HDMI extension cables before wall mounting.

Only 3 hdmi ports as the gen 1, you can order a wall mount bracket when you order a tv it is £100 extra or you could buy a tv bracket from any retailer as i said before the stand on the gen 2 tv is different to the gen 1, the stand on the gen 2 to is just that, you assemble the gen 2 yourself watch the video on YouTube about this there are no screws no upright bar at the back of the gen 2 tv and no backplate or even a wall mounting template that comes with the gen 2 tv, the stand was redesign to do it yourself

Hi sorry for the confusion .. i did mean the hdmi sockets on glass gen 1 been very tight to get to

Wall bracket /stand came with gen 1 and our 65" has been on wall since purchase few yr ago . The wall bracket was fitted with spacers provided at the time only leaving a very small space between tv and wall knowing what i know now i would of purchased more spacers to make accesbillity to hdmi sockets a lot easier i will look to purchasing a hdmi extension so this can be left in tv at all times my other question was if i upgrade to gen 2 would the tv wall bracket be fine to just replace tvs and not bother purchasing new bracket ( gen 1 wall bracket is solid on wall and would take some removing without taking half the wall away haha ) thank you

The Gen 1 wall plate is specific to the Gen 1 Glass set: a Gen 2 Glass (or a Glass Air) will not fit it at all.
