You can order a wall mount  from sky for the gen 2 it's  not the same stand as the gen1

USB on Glass is only intended for the Sky Live camera.  Perhaps you mean the HDMI ports?

 

One option might be to add short HDMI extension cables before wall mounting.

Only 3 hdmi ports as the gen 1, you can order a wall mount  bracket  when you order  a tv it is £100 extra  or you could buy a tv bracket  from any retailer as i  said  before  the stand  on the gen 2 tv is different  to the gen 1, the stand on the gen 2 to is just  that, you assemble the gen 2 yourself  watch  the video  on YouTube  about  this there are no screws no upright  bar at the back of the gen 2 tv and no backplate or even a wall  mounting  template  that comes with  the gen 2 tv, the stand was redesign to do it yourself

Re: Glass gen 2

Hi sorry for the confusion .. i did mean the hdmi sockets on glass gen 1 been very tight to get to 

  •  Wall bracket /stand came with gen 1 and our 65" has been on wall since purchase few yr ago . The wall bracket was fitted with spacers provided at the time  only leaving a very small space between tv and wall knowing what i know now i would of purchased more spacers to make accesbillity to hdmi sockets a lot easier i will look to purchasing a hdmi extension so this can be left in tv at all times my other question was if i upgrade to gen 2 would the tv wall bracket be fine to just replace tvs and not bother purchasing new bracket ( gen 1 wall bracket is solid on wall and would take some removing without taking half the wall away haha ) thank you

The Gen 1 wall plate is specific to the Gen 1 Glass set: a Gen 2 Glass (or a Glass Air) will not fit it at all.
