Absolutely , the number of people whom already have 4k tv's and are happy with them by far outnumber the numbers of people who are coincidently looking for a new 4k tv and a sky tv subscription at the same time

@cookiemonsteruk  And with glass you have the always listening big brother hiding in plain sight. Is there a menu item to disable voice commands ?

Both a menu item and a hardware button on the side of the set.

Wow, the function police got one over on the form police - a nice touch. Makes it almost worth giving it a try. Although my 20Mb broadband would limit our UHD experience and i'm not sure the management would buy the disruption. But, if can sell the £12/m discount on the Q bill post return that might sweeten the deal.

With a 20Mb broadband speed, there is no way I would go with Sky Glass or any Sky streaming service.It's just too slow.

 

Fortunately, we ae due for a full fibre install here.That means I will be able to get the 500Mb Sky package. I look forward to that.
