Sky Glass review: Satellite-free streaming TV has plenty to shout about but can be improved

Sky Glass is Sky's new streaming, voice-controlled television that promises high-spec, cinema style viewing without the need of a satellite dish. Relying solely on broadband, Glass provides your TV package straight to the screen, with no set top box required either.

Sky Glass comes in three sizes, small 43inch, medium 55inch and large 65inch, with prices starting at £649 for a 43inch, or £13 a month over four years. The 65inch comes in at £1,049, or £21 a month over four years.

Sky's TV packages, which are needed for a Glass TV, start from £26 a month. The TV also comes in five colours, Ocean Blue, Ceramic White, Racing Green, Dusky Pink, or Anthracite Black.

I was lucky enough to test the 65inch TV, and opted for the Dusky Pink colour, much to my partner's disappointment. Being new to Sky, I wasn't too sure what to expect and had nothing to compare to it previously, other than my standard 42inch LG TV which included Freeview and our favourite apps like Netflix, Disney+ and Amazon Prime.

Is Sky Glass is really worth the money though? Does it lives up to its promises? And are some Sky customers right to say it will be a deal breaker for them because of certain features?

My initial verdict is that it is worth the money, especially if Sky can fix some of the teething issues of the voice control, and the Glance Motion Technology. The sound and picture quality is an immersive and cinematic experience that I've not had with any previous TV.

The removal of certain features, like the record button, may upset some Sky customers but being new to Sky I've not found this an issue. Scroll down for more on what I thought
