Yes .....

The continue watching rail enhancements are also useful. Having a Stream puck I don't get the extra vivid but by all accounts tyhat is quite good as well.

I'm based in Republic of Ireland
I have the latest build version QS34.022.00P and have the ad skipping subscription
I have not yet noticed any skip adverts button on Sky on demand content during playback
Instead on some select sky on demand content that I have checked since the update so far there are no adverts at all during playback so that might explain why I don't see any skip ad button as it's not required.
Also we still not yet got the Apple HomeKit App for airplay on Sky Glass in Republic of Ireland
Why is airplay function on Sky Glass UK only at the moment
The extra vivid picture option on sky glass is good really only for UHD Content that has HDR
It's not great with SDR content as it's to bright and skin colour of faces during a live broadcast is not a natural skin colour

I don't like the fact they have removed the apps tile from the first rail and not even moved the apps up to compensate, it was handy having that at the top!! Also there is a premier league rail we don't even have sky sports and many don't.
I like the extra detail on the continue rail though.

Sky change which rails are visible and the order of them on a regularly basis and do this outside of software updates.

Posted by a Superuser, not a Sky employee. Find out more@slaters I agree with you but unfortunately there is nothing we can do about it as the order is controlled by Sky. It is not ever likely to happen but it would be great if we could edit the homescreen rails to suit our individual viewing preferences.

Has the Extra vivid picture setting just appeared, because I have just noticed it tonight when changing from sport. First impressions are good.

Posted by a Superuser, not a Sky employee. Find out more@bayardm Seeing as you have had the latest update withe the extra vivid mode you should also notice some improvements to the Continue Watching rail, Favourites and the Skip Adds button (if you are subscribed to add skipping). I think it is the most useful update we have had this year.
