Sky glass and magic eye

[Clare324]

Hi. I'm considering buying sky glass but not before I can find out if the magic eye that we use to watch the same channel in another room will still work. I don't want multiroom but if I need to purchase a new eye or similar, then happy to that. Thanks

Sky Glass is TV with a streaming service built-in, it is very different to Sky's satellite service. 

A magic eye will not work with it as there is no way to send a video signal out of it. 

The only way to have a Sky Glass TV with Sky TV in other rooms is to add the Whole Home subscription to the Streaming TV subscription you have with the TV. You will then be provided with a Sky Stream puck to attach to a second TV which will allow you to watch all the channels you get on Sky Glass on this second TV. This obviously comes with an additional monthly charge, like the multiroom/multiscreen subscription with Sky+/Sky Q.

No, absolutely not, because Glass only outputs video to its own screen.

There are potentially somewhat similar solutions to 'magic eye' available when using Sky Stream rather than Sky Glass, but only with substantial investment in additional hardware to redistribute HDMI signal.
