A Positive Review

[Anonymous]

Having got more used to the new system, and calmed down after the stress/excitement of getting it all set up yesterday, I thought I'd leave a very small review now the dust has settled.

The picture on both the glass, and the puck, are really good, much better than my previous sony android tv.  The sound on the inbuilt soundbar is actually pretty darned good, amazing on movies.  From what I can gather, you can watch tv on both glass and the puck at the same time without any buffering issues, however when watching the football last night in UHD on the puck, that was an issue and basically didn't work.  Hopefully sky will remedy this in the future.  The HDR looks amazing on movies.  The new way of watching by streaming is obviously miles quicker than having to download an HDR movie to your box.

The home screen takes some getting used to compared to Sky Q, but the playlist is great, as you can add stuff from Disney+ etc into it, along with your sky stuff too.  Loving the thinned down channe list without all the +1 and channel fillers.

So from what I can gather, the only issue so far is the footy on the puck.  But apart from that it is a very impressive system.

Nice to hear some positivity first thing in the morning!

Can you confirm if Dolby Vision is available with the Disney+ app?

Also, is UHD available with the BBC iPlayer on Glass?

With Sky Q, downloading a movie in UHD/HDR only takes 1 or 2 percent to download before you can start watching. Then you can watch the movie while the rest of it is downloading. So Glass is not miles faster. Feet faster maybe. On a 47-50 meg Internet connection it took may 1-2 minutes at most to be able to start watching.

I am setting a puck up but it doesn't recognise the remote that came with it or the Sky Glass remote so struggling to proceed with set up. Any ideas?

Well to me, zero seconds, over 1-2 minutes is "miles" faster.  Sorry.

Is this when you're pressing the 1 and 3 buttons to set it up?  If so, it took a fair few goes for mine to be recognised.

If you're going to insist on being positive on here then you're going to have to get used to people saying you're wrong 😀

@Anonymous Any chance you can guage the 'lag' by comparing the clock on Sky News to your phone.
