DesignĪs an object, the Sky Glass TV is really nice. Somewhat surprisingly, the TV does have an aerial socket and can receive Freeview channels, and those will be available, along with any separate streaming services you've subscribed to and any external sources that are connected to the HDMI sockets, if you cancel your Sky subscription. You may well be wondering what happens if you've got the Sky Glass TV but decide to cancel the Sky TV service, which is something you can do.

As tested (we've got the 55-inch 'M' TV with the full Sky package), Sky Glass actually costs £10 up front and £89 per month (before adding extra streaming services), assuming a 48-month contract on the TV. In short, while the £13 per month will draw plenty of people in, that's nothing like what someone will actually pay for it. One of Sky Glass's key selling points is its amalgamation of content from lots of other streaming services, such as Netflix, Amazon Prime Video and Disney+, but (with the exception of Netflix, which is included with the Sky Ultimate package) you have to pay separately for those subscriptions, just as you do with any other TV. But no, you can't buy the Puck without a Sky Glass TV – it's purely intended as a multi-room solution, though we suspect (and hope) that will change in the future. You can of course go for multiple Sky Glass TVs instead of going down the Puck route.

If you want to have Sky Glass in more than one room, you need to pay an extra £10 per month, plus a £50 one-off payment for each Sky Stream Puck – this is the device you need in order to add Sky Glass to a standard TV. That these aren't part of the core Sky Glass service seems ridiculous.Īnd while Sky Ultimate includes Sky TV channels such as Sky Atlantic and Sky Max, it doesn't include Sports or Cinema, which will cost you an extra £25 and £11 respectively, should you want them. While the TV supports HDR and Dolby Atmos, you need to pay an extra £5 per month to add them to your Sky subscription. So that means the cheapest Sky Glass is really £39 per month, rather than the £13 per month headline figure.Īnd we're not done yet. You also need to subscribe to at least Sky Ultimate, which will set you back £26 per month. Because those payments cover only the cost of the TV itself and not the Sky subscription. Here's the breakdown of Sky Glass packages in a more digestible format:īut that's not the whole story, inevitably. So the Medium is £17 over 48 months (plus £10 upfront) or £34 over 24 months (plus £20 upfront), while the Large is £21 over 48 months (again, plus £10 upfront) or £42 over 24 months (£20 upfront). The Medium and Large versions of Sky Glass can be bought over the same terms. That will take the total price paid to £644. If a four-year contract feels like too much of a commitment, you can instead opt to pay for your Sky Glass TV over two years, at a rate of £26 per month, with a £20 upfront payment. That's not a mistake: it's actually cheaper in the long run to pay monthly for the TV than to pay for it in one go.
There is a £10 upfront payment but, even then, the total price paid is actually £634. Maths whizzkids might have noticed that £13 times 48 doesn't equal £649. The eye-popping £13 per month figure is for the Small Sky Glass model, paid for over 48 months. Large measures 65 inches and will set you back £1049.īut Sky Glass can be paid for monthly, and here's where things get interesting.
Small is a 43-inch set that costs £649 if paid for upfront.
