Sky Glass 2.0 Launch Details

[howdy12]

Ok no worries,  as a youtube reviewer who received his gen 2 rang sky and they told him its discontinued as well.

Slightly off topic as this post is hot. Anyone know why sky store has removed all uhd content? You can't even rent uhd anymore. I know the sending out dvds has stopped to🤔

Don't believe everything you see on an influencer's social media account 😀

@peter-marlow+1966  It hasn't been. There are just some issues with being able to order it when you order a Gen 2 Sky Glass, which Sky are working on.

Think these rumours stem from a YouTube channel that has twice said that they ve been told its been discontinued. 

I've plugged my live camera into my gen 2 and it's installed and working fine. 

@peter-marlow+1966  are you getting the gen 2 ?

[howdy12]

Yeah it looks a little strange, I've been hearing the same thing. Even the advert on sky website for skyglass there is no mention of the sky live  feature either. OK there might be a bug when ordering, but why no advert for it🤔

[howdy12]

If you allready got one then yes it should work. But people can't find anywhere to buy one except Ebay etc. Bit like if you got a sky soundbar it still works but can't buy them anymore.  Not even advertised as a feature anymore unless I've missed it somewhere.

I think most of this Sky Live speculation (mine included) comes from the fact that Sky have completely removed all mention of it from their website. That's a very odd thing to do for a supposed active product. Yes, it's fully compatible with Glass Gen2, there's no reason why it shouldn't be, but to suddenly stop even mentioning it anywhere on their site is strange.

The only mention of it is on Sky's corporate site, and that's just the info from the launch in 2023.

Perhaps they planned to do some form of re-launch with Glass Gen2, or maybe the Live camera itself is getting some form of upgrade too and they couldn't get it ready in time? Maybe they're holding Sky Live Gen2 back for the release of Glass Air. The current Live model is very much designed for the chunkier frame of Glass Gen1 & Gen2, so they potentially wouldn't be able to sell it with Glass Air as there wouldn't be a thick enough frame for it to clip onto.

I have the option to add Sky Live on My Sky. 

[howdy12]

Yes its what i found strange too, no mention of it on their site🤔 the rumours will escalate if sky don't officially say anything.  Plus if your new to glass and go straight to gen 2 and unable to buy the camera for your glass then that's pretty poor for 1st time buyers too.

I just got my Gen 2 today and the option to add Sky Live is on My Sky. 

[howdy12]

So you need to wait for your gen 2 to arrive, set it up then you get the chance to order sky live🤔. When I bought gen 1 you could order the 2 together.
