Setting up Nintendo switch
I've got sky glass tv and wanting to set up Nintendo switch and been unable to connect. Done everything we can think of.
Have bought new Nintendo adapter due to me seeing it spark when I put it in the plug. Apart from this is there anything I've done wrong or can do to actually connect to my tv?

It should be a case of connecting a HDMI cable between the switch dock and your Glass TV (any of the HDMI ports on the back of the TV should work), dropping the Switch into the dock, turning it on and maybe selecting the right HDMI port on your TV homepage if it doesn't switch to the Switch immediately.
When you say you saw a spark, where was this? Plugging the Switch dock into the mains at the wall socket end? Or did you see the switch elsewhere?

Re: Setting up Nintendo switch
Seen a spark coming from plug into the extension socket - back if the tv due to where the model and tv etc is. Have tried a different plug but still not showing up on the sky glass regardless which hdmi i put the cable in. PS4 seems to work fine (yes have got that unplugged as to try Nintendo out)

@RachW32 Obvious thing to try is a different TV, friends or family if you don't have another, to rule out a faulty Switch.
