Sky Glass Delivered

[lettice]

First question would be,
Before you activate, what capabilities does the TV have before sky activation, so being a non Sky dumb TV.
What apps are available, if any?

How does the use of the aerial and freeview channels work and display like?

I have BT TV at the moment and when I change streaming channels, the HD is there instantly. I do have 500Mbps but still there's no delay or anything at all.

Two questions I would appreciate feedback on are - 

The delay compared to Sky Q. Could make having a little flutter on games frustrating. Know this might be hard to answer as Q closes down when you activate

and. 

The speed of moving between live channels and how long these take to kick in to HD. Again appreciate this might be down to BB speed but these are two niggles I have moving from Sat based delivery. 

Thanks in advance! Enjoy!

Some live programmes always start on time, like the BBC News and any football match. So check the actual time when the whistle blows (the clock on the bottom of the Mini Guide banner and the top of the Home screen doesn't show seconds so for accuracy, check the system clock on your laptop or phone…or maybe the Glass TV has a time server in date & time settings). Do it on Q and then do it again on Glass. Post results.

Mine has arrived, also declined set up and had a call from Panther logistics to confirm happy with this. Working so no time to set up yet

My tracking seems stuck at Tamworth which is the nearest depot to me. 
hopefully it's not broken down - tracking says delivered 9.18 - 11.18.

feels like Xmas waiting to open your presents! Lol

Isn't Freeview accessed through an App? I don't think anything is accessible without initial activation.

That's one of the big unknowns, so would be good if an early adopter could confirm.

Yes, hence my question.

Mine's here.  I told them not to bother unpacking it, I'd do it myself.   Haven't unpacked it yet.

Ha, of course it is.

I hate reinstalling Windows from scratch as I know it's going to be hours before it's set up correctly.

@lettice I think - the 1st thing that I will do (which is counter-intuative I know) is plug Sky Q straight in!  I want to know what the 'expereince' is like if I couldn't cope with the Glass streaming service and went back to Q.  I am hoping that I won't need to go back - as I want to get rid of my old surround sound system, box and TV cabinet!

Can`t even finish the order process, how farcical is that!
