I'm afraid that all reminds me of a politicians answer - full of ifs, ands, maybes. It might be in the cloud, it might be in an app, it might not be anywhere at all, and you won't know until you come to watch it and it could so easily be too late. The system clearly hasn't been designed to work in a consistent way with all programming - possibly couldn't with the various licensing considerations, but that has not been made clear from the outset as it should have been. It also seems that the 1000 hours of personal storage claim is so easy to be misconstrued as exactly that, and I just can't believe Sky didn't know it would be. I wasn't interested in Glass because I don't want the telly, but I was hoping that sooner or later, Sky would be introducing set top boxes. No longer I'm afraid - unless things change drastically. If you're going to be using third party apps, you may as well use them direct for catchup ( there can't be many tellys without the main ones at least ), which leaves the only real appreciable advantage as the extra channels.
I watched the TV advert for the first time last night, and I noted it included the legend " TV with Sky inside". I can understand why, with a claim like that, there are many Q customers who are so disappointed. I left Sky about 3 years ago, but to me "Sky" is easy recording and time shifting capability - functionality I still miss to this day - functionality which is missing from Glass. Yes, this is over the internet so can't be the same, but that's my point - it's clearly been cleverly marketed to make it sound as if it is the full Sky experience in a telly, rather than what it is - a very different streaming platform. To my mind it should have been marketed as a superior, upmarket, Now built into a good quality telly. From here on in, Sky need to be very careful with their marketing, and how they sell the product to their customers.
