It has HD and UHD options but not 1080p or 720p like on Sky Stream..?
Its better too lower resoulsion beause of how fast your internet is and then don't get video freezes and will not play and video has got stuck.

Stream needs selectable 720p and 1080p output options because users can choose to connect it to a 'Full HD' (1080) or even an 'HD Ready' (720) television set.

Glass has a UHD panel and so doesn't need those to be user-selectable: there's no possibility that the content resolution is higher than the screen can display.

The HD and UHD options on Glass are there so that users without the UHD subscription supplement on their account can choose HD on-demand content.

The native resolution of the incoming live streams is 1080i HD or 2160P for UHD and Glass is a native 4K screen. Reducing the resolution would not affect the bandwidth because it still would be receiving the native 1080i/2160P streams.
Sky Stream pucks have the option to output 720P and 1080P because they need to be connected to a TV. That TV might only have a resolution of 720P so the 1080i streams need to be downscaled by the puck before being output to the screen. Sky Glass doesn't need to do this because it has the 4K screen already attached.

Sorry me being a idiot, I just realised TVs do not changer the resolution, its the device you plug in to it that controls its resolution like on the PS5 or another HDMI device... 🙂
