New Sky OS 2.0

[GD1]

@Harrisev  Yes, OS2.0 trial is being rolled out between now & the end of the month.

[Yoghurt]

@SKY1992bf  @GD1  I never got invited to sign up for the trial so hopefully by September 30th I have new update fingers crossed 

[Hoover123]

Has anyone else not been updated yet that is on the trial ?

[GD1]

@Yoghurt  You won't get the OS2.0 trial as you've said you never got the invite.

There isn't a date provided yet for full rollout,  this is still a Trial.

[Yoghurt]

@GD1 I will have a look on page 1 of this thread to see what my tv should look like

@Hoover123 for those that were successfully accepted to the trial, devices are being updated gradually and should be completed by the end of the month.

How do we feedback on the trial so bugs etc can be reported? Tried opening Apple TV app this evening and it was sluggish and unusable.

The one and only feature which the community has called for since the start of sky glass is easier access to our apps. Even on this new streamlined os I have to go down 3 or 4 rows of "content" to get to my apps! Please consider moving these up or adding a tab to the new top bad.

From what I have seen there are some nice tweaks and niceties to the menus but are there background improvements like. 

HDR10+ added
True Frame Rate Imaging and not fixed at 50-60Hz

Continue Watching Problems resolved

Episode Tracking resolved

Improved Connectivity Issues

True AD Free not skipping which is often problematic, Now is AD free, Sky Go on Apple TV is AD free. 

Improvements to App access to speed up connectivity and improve picture quality.

True individual Playlists/Profiles with their own continue watching and episode Tracking.

The Cloud Recording with Series Link is a bonus. 

The potential to be the No.1 go to streaming service is huge but these fundamental issues posted daily in this place need fixing.

@Gincap Yes I fear they are not tackling the fundamental problems that have dogged the puk since its release. Every recent update appears to bring new issues that expose the inability of Sky to deliver a gold standard service and yet Sky want to charge us as if it was. I hope that I'm wrong and OS 2.0 will deliver what we are all paying for.

Removing adverts is not a background improvement it's a huge commercial decision

True but worthy of adding to the list.  I'm sure there is a backroom adjustment to be made to change it should that commercial decision on the commercials be made. But there again nobody here knows if it is a commercial decision an assumption yes. 

But, the adverts are fundamentally removed because they are skipped 🤔. I do understand there are aggregation factors of third party apps.

So no harm to anyone to have it in a nice to have list which will highly likely be completely ignored anyway 😂

[Yoghurt]

@Gincap  Yep loads of stuff needs fixing I agree

I notice someone already mentioned fast forward freezing, and I had a similar problem whilst viewing a recording. The fast forward wouldn't stop and I had to crash out of the programme. I couldn't get recordings working again after, even switching the tv on and off. In the end I did a reset which fixed the problem. for now anyway.
