Will Sky glass work?

[Cullen1]

I have just ordered Sky Glass but I now remember a sky engineer telling me a year ago that due to the thickness of the walls in the house he was doubtful that we could link our TVs via Sky glass as they cant be linked by hard wired like present. The TVs can only be linked via wi-fi and due to the location of the TVs and the very thick walls they couldnt link? Shall I cancel my Sky Glass?

Sky Glass  connects to your broadband router via either wifi or an ethernet cable connection.

Thank you. I have no doubt that our new Sky Glass will work in the new TV which will be in our living room and will have good broadband connection. My questiuon is that our 2nd TV is in the other side of the house in a room where Wifi is very poor due to the thickness of the walls. Currently the 2 TVs are hard wire connected, how will my new Sky Glass TV connect to my 2nd TV?

Get some powerline adaptors, sends broadband over your house ringmain circuit.

Hi @Cullen1 

As @lettice has advised Glass can use ethernet so you will use the same ethernet "hard wired" connection as you are using now. As you are saying you are hard wired the assumption is you have an ethernet cable going from your router to the location of your 2nd TV..

@Cullen1 Is your second TV a Sky Glass? If not, you'll need a Sky puck to be able to watch Sky on it plus a Whole Home Subscription. Usually the puck is free if it's your first one and the Whole Home Subscription is £10 per month. The puck can be connected either by WiFi or Ethernet (ethernet is best). If it is Glass too then you'll still need a Whole Home Subscription.

As someone else suggested, Powerline adapters are a good way to achieve this. You plug one in by your router and run an ethernet cable to it, then plug the other in by your Sky puck and run an ethernet cable to it.

That's fundamentally different to how the platform works: each individual unit (Glass television set or Stream puck) is a standalone network client device.

@Cullen1 just to avoid confusion the Sky Glass is a TV, so the Glass doesn't connect to your existing TVs in any way it would replace your existing TVs.

If you are looking to be able to watch Sky on your existing TVs then the Sky Stream puck is what you need rather than Sky Glass.
