Depends who you ask. Some will say yes, others will say no. 

Ask yourself why you want it and if you actually need it. 

Glass Gen 2 is an all-in-one TV/soundbar with SkyOS built-in which can be paid off, interest free, over 4 years. If either of those are attractive features then it's well worth considering. 

Can you get better, more versatile smart TVs with more features, better screen technology for the same money or less? Yes. You can add a Sky Stream puck to any TV and get the same fully streamed Sky TV experience.

Wouldn't recommend it. Imagine a big cheap tablet that requires restarting everyday because it's rubbish. Just like tonight where there is no channel list and most channels won't load. Sick with Sky + and get a decent Korean TV curry's.

Choose wisely. Also remember that Sky TV package subscriptions are now 24 month commitments - with up to 2 annual price hikes within that term too. Glass is an expensive mid-range tv at best. Sky's TV offering is also declining in quality and content also. 

Personally, I wouldn't recommend it either. And i've got 3 of the bloomin things.

On the other hand, I have had my Gen 2 for months and I have never had to restart it. I would thoroughly recommend it.

Had our 43" gen 1 in the bedroom since Jan 2023. Found it to be rock solid, although we've made sure it has a strong WiFi signal to our WiFi 6 router. Happily played 4K & Atmos content through it without issue.  Can't stress enough that a good WiFi connection is required as well as a fast broadband connection, as free from congestion as possible and ideally with WiFi 6.
