Sky glass with no sky subscription

[Shiv17]

Hi. I have a sky glass tv but I've cancelled my sky tv package. Going to use it as a smart tv. Is there anyway to watch live tv without going in the apps? I want to be able to go into tv guide and see what's on all free channels rather than using iPlayer for bbc channels, Chanel 4 for all their channels.

Only by attaching an aerial to the socket on the rear, tuning to Digital Terrestrial Television (sometimes referred to as 'Freeview') and using the built-in DTTV EPG.  Channel availability will be based on local transmission/reception. and the on-board network connection may need disabling for a DTTV option to appear.

Unfortunately DTTV isn't particularly satisfactory on Glass, and a 'real' Freeview (or Freesat*) box connected over HDMI is likely to be better.

No 'free' channels are streamed into the Glass EPG where there isn't a Sky content subscription in place: the Sky EPG on Glass is itself a subscription-only service.

*where the property has a compatible satellite dish

Note that despite what Sky claims: Glass is not a 'smart TV': it's a bespoke platform specified, designed and intended for consumption of Sky subscription services and those from other companies Sky has partnered with.

Can u have sly glass just for free channels  with out subscription

hi @Superheroes 

No. Without a subscription you loose access to the TV guide. Unless you disconnect from the internet and use an aerial.

@Superheroes 

Yes. You can downgrade to the ultimate TV pack. You can do this by giving 31 days notice and as long as you are outside a minimum term. You can do this in the my Sky app or by calling Sky.
