Hiya hoping to order my Sky Glass Gen2 next week, just wondering because everything is streamed what's the channel changing like i.e BBC1 to ITV to Sky Golf using the TV guide? Any channel lag?

Regards

Hi @Michael6759

It depends on what you mean by lag and will depend on your broadband speed and local environmental factors. For me there is a slight delay but nothing worse than it was with Sky Q.

Remember tho streams delivered via broadband/ IPTV are circa 30 seconds behind that via traditional broadcast methods.

Thanks, 150mb broadband may go up to 500mb. Currently on Sky Q and out of contract.

Thanks again 👍

@Michael6759

Broadband speed isn't really a factor (unless it's completely inadequate)

With Sky Q the data for every possible channel is already landing on the dish, so only a tuning change is required: that cannot be the case with Stream.
