Can I upgrade my Sky Glass from 55 inch to 65 ?

[Shijo]

Hi,

I currently have 55 inch sky glass. I currently moved to a new house and the TV is very small fo the wall. Is there an option to upgrade to 65inch so that I can sell the current one to Sky and exchange with 65 ?

@Shijo  There is no such exchange scheme you will need to buy the 65 as new

you can sell the 55 on well known websites make sure you unregistered it from your account first and do a factory reset

Hi @Shijo 

Sky don't buy back Glass units. You are free to sell it and purchase a new set from Sky. You can have up to 3 Glass sets and 6 pucks on your account, but you'll need whole home.

You will need to pay for your existing unit (if on finance) and pass an other credit check if not purchasing outright.

However, you might be better of researching a new TV and using a Sky Stream Puck or waiting as there are rumours circulating of a new glass product in February. Glass is now 3 year old tech.

Thank you @SKY1992bf .

This is so poor from Sky as normally, most manufactures has the option to sell the old device while bying a new one. I really regret now!

Of course you can sell it privately, but I'm not aware of any manufacturer which will buy television hardware back.  Some hire-purchase schemes may permit this, but Glass is not provided on HP: the monthly hardware cost is repayment of an unsecured personal loan.

The v1 65" is apparently out of stock anyway, prior to an announcement by Sky next month.  They are available second hand and frankly much better value that way: the list price is now ridiculous for a three year old device.

Samsung introduced a 'TV Upgrade Programme' in 2019 which allowed customers to purchase one of their TVs on interest free credit and then upgrade it after 2 years. This is where Sky got the idea to do the same with Glass...

However, the pandemic caused Samsung to discontinue their version of the upgrade scheme, and I suspect that's why Sky decided not to even start theirs.
