Nope. There is no App Store on Sky Glass. Sky control the choice of apps.

No Sky Glass TVs do not support Freeview🙁

 

To access DTT you have connect the Glass TV to an aerial and disconnect the Glass TV from the internet🤔

What exact issue are you getting?

 

The majority of issues are caused by network connectivity issues as the Sky streaming service needs a strong and stable network connection to function.

I find it always helps to do your research before buying something significant to make sure you understand whether it will perform/do what you want.

I agree... and never believe the advertising for any product. 
Independent research is essential, particularly when spending hundreds of pounds on a TV, a device which is likely to be used daily in most households. 
Sky Glass does most of what is advertised, but 'smarter than a smart TV' is undoubtedly highly questionable.

Sky say that because Glass TVs can't qualify as Smart TVs😉

You have the option of rejecting the delivery at which point it will be returned to Sky. 

Alternatively, if you want to give it a try and see if you think it'll work for you then you can take delivery and activate the TV. If you don't like it you have 31 days from activation to cancel and Sky will accept the return of the TV and refund any money paid so far for it. A courier will be sent to collect the TV and it has to be graded by Sky (to make sure you haven't damaged it) before any refund will be given.

The simple answer is yes, you can connect a PS5 via HDMI to Sky Glass.

Don't expect silky smooth gameplay though, Sky Glass was never designed for gaming and has a distinctly mid-range 60Hz back-lit LED LCD VA panel.

A recent software update has introduced an ALLM (auto low latency) game mode whic improves the response time a little, but if gaming is important to you then a smart TV with 120Hz refresh rate, VRR and ALLM would offer you a better experience.
