Sky Glass voice control and different provider TV package

[DAJC683]

I have Sky Glass and my contract expires 24th Jan.  If I were to change to BT/EE Broadband and TV whilst I think the TV would work, will it still have the voice control "Hello Sky" bit?

Voice Control is a subscription feature: it won't function if you aren't paying Sky.

Without a Sky Ultimate TV subscription, you’ll miss out on:

The best entertainment from our Sky TV channels.

Access to Sky Originals and Sky Exclusives.

A TV guide bringing together over 150 channels, with restart and live pause on each.

Your personal Playlist, allowing easy access to the next episodes of your favourite shows, all in one place.

Hands-free voice control (Sky Glass TV only).

Thanks so much. Appreciated.  I probably read that when I first signed up but have slept since then.

Although note that the claim by Sky that 'Sky Glass without a Sky Ultimate TV subscription will work like a normal TV'  is somewhat dubious: there's no access to any apps other than the ones Sky themselves curate.
