Can you help me please ?

Can I still watch Freeview if I purchase a Sky Glass T.V? Or is it just linked to Sky Services?

@AlanClark  There is a DTT tuner (Not a freeview tuner) that will get you all the Freeview/DTT channels in addition to the channels on the Glass TV Guide.

 

These channels won't be integrated into the Glass  TV guide you would select them when you access the DTT Tuner tab within Glass.

Like you I'm a customer here, Sky Employees are clearly identified as such.

@AlanClark note that if you have yet to purchase a tv you must subscribe to at least the essentials tv package for at least 31 days after which you can cancel the subscription element 

 

also note removing subscription services also removes the epg listings

If you're buying a Glass TV just to use as a DTT receiver - I wouldn't bother. It'll be very limited in functionality. Remember, these devices are primarily designed and optimised to be used with Sky's pay TV services and subscriptions. 

While theoretically possible, you'll have a terrible user experience.
