Re: Sky tv

@Sunset74 You will lose the TV guide. You will still have access to apps. See: https://www.sky.com/help/articles/sky-glass-without-a-subscription

 

If you disconnect from the internet and have an aerial you can access some DTT Freeview channels. See: https://www.sky.com/help/articles/tv-input-app-on-sky-glass

 

 Your HDMI ports will work as normal for you to plug a NowTV capable device in to it.

Hi @Sunset74 

 

You shouldn't need to disconnect from the Internet any more. The TV Input app was made available permitly a while back on glass

 

See: https://www.sky.com/help/articles/tv-input-app-on-sky-glass for how to use.

 

You get a basic TV Guide via it but you loose the Sky one as @Anonymous points out.

You need a functioning external aerial (preferably rooftop) with working aerial cable and an adequate local terrestrial broadcast signal.  Channel availability will depend on the local Freeview multiplex: round here it's PSB channels (1-5) only.

 

Glass without a Sky subscription has no streaming EPG at all, but PSB on-demand content is available through the relevant channel apps as long as the television set is still registered to a Sky account (which has no cost)
