Reviewer verdict

Across 9 YouTube reviews, the Sky Glass (2023) earns an Index score of 2.9/5, ranking #92 among TVs. Reviewers most often praise its smart features, operating system, design & build, while the most common criticisms concern other, smart features.

Reviewers say Glass (2023) is strongest for its smart features and voice control, with many (34 mentions) praising an intuitive, quick interface, playlist/profile features, Netflix integration and handy voice commands (volume, HDMI switching, finding the remote). Multiple reviewers (9 mentions) also note the operating system has become smoother and more responsive than before, with improved multitasking and a generally quicker UI. Several reviewers highlight the design touches (8 mentions) like a backlit, sensor-lit remote and customizable front plates, and a number (7 mentions) praise the built-in sound as loud and surprisingly good, including Dolby Atmos claims.

Criticism centers on the product’s reliance on streaming and internet connectivity: many reviewers (33 mentions) complain about slow responsiveness, crashes, and the loss of recording/hard-drive functionality that makes the system fragile if the internet is unreliable. Smart features receive heavy criticism as well (28 mentions) for broken or limited playlist/recording behavior, intrusive ads unless you pay, poor integration with some apps, and missing channels compared with older Sky boxes. Connectivity and performance issues (12 mentions) — demanding broadband, lost remote connections and limited ports or headphone options — plus OS sluggishness and occasional crashes (7 mentions) further undermine the experience, and some find the physical design heavy or battery-hungry (7 mentions).

Cons (100)

Other (33)

they take a while to turn on they're not as responsive as the TV ▶ SKY GLASS REVIEW: The Good Bad and Ugly @ 11:43
£7 a month just to watch TV you can't record stuff you can't go back and Rewind easily you can't forward easily you can't pause easily everything's through streaming services so what are you getting for that money nothing ▶ SKY GLASS REVIEW: The Good Bad and Ugly @ 14:07
by ditching the dish you've obviously are relying on one source so if the internet drops out you've lost everything you lost TV you lost everything ▶ Sky Stream The Big Issue With It @ 1:57
it does make it look a bit weird ▶ SKY GLASS REVIEW: The Good Bad and Ugly @ 2:46
on top the TV we've got an extra 13 a month on top and if you want to be able to skip ads you have to pay £5 on top of that every month so your bill ends up coming to about 5560 a month which for this service is absurd ▶ SKY GLASS REVIEW: The Good Bad and Ugly @ 14:24
this thing has no hard drive or SSD built into it so it does mean that everything you do now over streaming apps you have to make sure you have every single streaming app because sky does not supply this anymore they Supply Sky Cinema but you don't get recordings ▶ SKY GLASS REVIEW: The Good Bad and Ugly @ 6:47
there is a noticeable noticeable delay between moving the controller and the TV responding ▶ SKY GLASS REVIEW: The Good Bad and Ugly @ 3:03
it does mean you get this massive black bar on the bottom of the TV which is very unique and you do not see this pretty much anywhere ▶ SKY GLASS REVIEW: The Good Bad and Ugly @ 2:25
it's not a powerful TV and it doesn't have the most powerful processor in it it's not going to be great ▶ SKY GLASS REVIEW: The Good Bad and Ugly @ 7:18

we had a lot of issues ▶ SKY GLASS REVIEW: The Good Bad and Ugly @ 0:32
the issues come when you have less powerful Wi-Fi ▶ SKY GLASS REVIEW: The Good Bad and Ugly @ 4:57
it has taken some of the power out of the sky puck ▶ SKY GLASS REVIEW: The Good Bad and Ugly @ 11:31
I think you shouldn't get it ▶ SKY GLASS REVIEW: The Good Bad and Ugly @ 0:01
you're relying on the internet and the problem with the internet can be it can be unstable if you don't have high enough bandwidth ▶ Sky Stream The Big Issue With It @ 1:06
the TV is thick ▶ SKY GLASS REVIEW: The Good Bad and Ugly @ 11:06
The TV was struggling to turn on it was slow unresponsive you couldn't skip ads you couldn't pause and it was causing a lot of issues ▶ SKY GLASS REVIEW: The Good Bad and Ugly @ 0:43
if yours is showing 1.0 you won't have this as yet ▶ Sky glass 1.1 (Personalized play lists walk through). @ 0:46
it takes a while to respond ▶ SKY GLASS REVIEW: The Good Bad and Ugly @ 5:39
it's crashed a few times i mean we all know the limitations of some of these apps you know all for the hd is not proper hd it reminds me of like 720p itv the hd is not bad but you've got a barrage of adverts ▶ Sky Glass - 24hrs in! @ 17:27
it has no game mode which is a very big issue if you are playing any type of games ▶ SKY GLASS REVIEW: The Good Bad and Ugly @ 2:51
the TV is also you know pretty heavy like mounting on a wall would be very difficult because the TV is really heavy ▶ SKY GLASS REVIEW: The Good Bad and Ugly @ 11:09
there is a sort of delay between when I press the forward button and when it actually stops ▶ SKY GLASS REVIEW: The Good Bad and Ugly @ 5:57
this TV is definitely not the smartest TV ▶ SKY GLASS REVIEW: The Good Bad and Ugly @ 0:19
when I'm watching something it lags or it freezes I've had multiple issues especially with YouTube where the remote just doesn't respond ▶ SKY GLASS REVIEW: The Good Bad and Ugly @ 7:39
it was a really not great experience ▶ SKY GLASS REVIEW: The Good Bad and Ugly @ 0:14
it runs over Wi-Fi you have to have seriously powerful Wi-Fi ▶ SKY GLASS REVIEW: The Good Bad and Ugly @ 3:32
this TV will struggle ▶ SKY GLASS REVIEW: The Good Bad and Ugly @ 5:17
the interface gets a little bit clunky it's not as responsive as something like a skyq box ▶ SKY GLASS REVIEW: The Good Bad and Ugly @ 5:50

Smart Features (28)

unless i'm misunderstood but i've never ever got this to work yeah um it's there the surfers on my left i walk in front of it and nothing ▶ Sky Glass - 24hrs in! @ 3:00
and all the bloody waiting around waiting where and where and right there we go with the adverts so for a year you can skip the adverts but it doesn't mean they're stripped out it literally means you have got to manually scroll through them ▶ Sky Glass - 24hrs in! @ 6:59
they whole playlist thing is a right mess you know um and we're doing wrong this is how it is it's not going to improve this this is what it is and it's clever from skye's perspective because they're never going to offer cloud recordings of the bloody infrastructure that we need you've got bbc itv channel 4 offering catch-up services already just point to their services and it saves you a lot of hassle ▶ Sky Glass - 24hrs in! @ 12:06
i think the main point of consternation for me with this is um i'm going to show my old uh how maybe get a bit older now is the taping of the recording of things um i had skye before we moved you had you know sky what was it called sky hd or something back then and you know i went on this tv guide here and if i wanted to record um oh that's a lot yeah i want to call this ripoff britain right i would hit the r button and it would record rip off britain that one episode this thing does not work like that all it's doing is um you don't have a planner you have this playlist and all this playlist is is a collection of um i'd call them bookmarks ▶ Sky Glass - 24hrs in! @ 3:37
this whole thing about not recording and all that is a real mess um ▶ Sky Glass - 24hrs in! @ 16:21
you have to watch all those adverts again which is very frustrating ▶ Sky Glass - 24hrs in! @ 10:37
you had to watch the ABS unless you wanted to upgrade for a fast forward ▶ Sky Stream - Honest Review @ 7:56
sorry we do not find any results so it's not looking into netflix so that's the real pain in the ass because the idea is it looks into netflix and serves things up here also you add it to your good old playlist but you can't do it from netflix because it's not integrated in it is with prime but not with netflix ▶ Sky Glass - 24hrs in! @ 16:41
you actually inside these treatment services do get some ads ▶ Sky Stream - Honest Review @ 10:03
because skystring doesn't record these shows like it does with a subscriber to the hard drive ▶ Sky Stream - Honest Review @ 10:25
also the amount of adverse is absolutely maddening ▶ Sky Glass - 24hrs in! @ 9:02
Sky glass and Sky stream have a slightly different setup to your conventional Sky boxes which have hard drives on them because they do pull these directly from the server ▶ Sky Stream - Honest Review @ 9:43
I know I lose things like recordings ▶ SKY STREAM 8 months later - But has it got any better! @ 1:55
sometimes the sky Street box gets stuck in a new pub ads ▶ Sky Stream - Honest Review @ 11:19

slight issue with Netflix the other day ▶ SKY STREAM 8 months later - But has it got any better! @ 7:34
you will come across a problem if you watch a series like The Simpsons because some of it is on sky but there are some episodes that are exclusive to Disney plus so even if you don't have a subscription to Disney plus because you clicked on the series link it will still show it on there so the interface can be a bit clunky on that front ▶ What is Sky Stream | Is It Any Good? @ 5:57
but you can't play films you can't unless it's live on there now ▶ SKY GLASS REVIEW, The good bad and TERRIBLE @ 7:22
biggest deciding factor for an ethnic household so all these International channels are not included on Sky stream or Sky glass ▶ What is Sky Stream | Is It Any Good? @ 7:05
you can't download everything anything onto it because it is all streaming ▶ Sky Glass after 1 week review @ 7:03
you cannot actually record anything onto the physical hard drive because this is just a streaming box ▶ What is Sky Stream | Is It Any Good? @ 3:49

it will add all 10 series to your playlist ▶ Sky Glass after 1 week review @ 7:51

Connectivity (12)

you've no connectivity options like there's no no options like bluetooth headphones or things like that you know it's it's quite limited in that regard ▶ Sky Glass - 24hrs in! @ 2:39
you have four hdmi ports this has got three but okay you're not plugging in a set top box but and i still like the other part honestly google's tv there's a lot of apps available so i'm now having to keep using my fire stick to get some of those apps i was using before because obviously skye is quite a closed platform ▶ Sky Glass - 24hrs in! @ 2:16
Sky doesn't actually provide with the boxes and that's one of my biggest complaints with sky with the sky stream they should Supply a yellow network cable ▶ Sky Stream The Big Issue With It @ 4:14
it's not worth switching over for the reasons of the reliability that you're essentially a slave to the internet now to watch your TV ▶ Sky Stream The Big Issue With It @ 5:46
takes away away the whole point of the advantage that Sky had over its competitors because it was the one service that wasn't delivered over the Internet ▶ Sky Stream The Big Issue With It @ 5:57
Sky recommend that you need at least 35 megabits per second for this to run properly ▶ Sky Glass after 1 week review @ 1:06
you do need a bit of an internet connection ▶ SKY STREAM 8 months later - But has it got any better! @ 9:47
the UHD channels I'm paying for will work properly because at this moment in time they don't because of my internet speed ▶ Sky Glass after 1 week review @ 8:16
the remote has lost connection sometimes ▶ SKY STREAM 8 months later - But has it got any better! @ 5:24

couple of issues I've come across so normally if you keep on scrolling down keep on scrolling down sometimes you will notice it's waiting for the TV schedule ▶ What is Sky Stream | Is It Any Good? @ 4:36
it opens into BBC iPlayer not onto the sky interface and this may be a cause for concern because we don't know what pvcr player retention policies or if it's through a different app how long will they keep it will they take it down the next day you never know and you'll lose all those series ▶ What is Sky Stream | Is It Any Good? @ 5:19

it emerges batteries it goes through batteries like you wouldn't believe ▶ SKY GLASS REVIEW, The good bad and TERRIBLE @ 2:50
not only do they go through batteries like they're going out of fashion and that's because every like if you put it on the arm of your chair like anyone else does you sit at the side you put put it on the Army chair if you knock it it will light up if you go anywhere near if it moves in any way shape or form it lights up all the buttons which is obviously battery power going and going and going and obviously you use it for volume changing Channel yada yada ▶ SKY GLASS REVIEW, The good bad and TERRIBLE @ 3:30
there is no Sky Box with this the sky is included in the TV ▶ Sky Glass after 1 week review @ 7:07
the problem is other than what you can see here you can't move the screen you can't scroll the screen up and down so if you can't scroll the screen up and down how do you know what's playing so you know without the controller basically the TV is next to useless ▶ SKY GLASS REVIEW, The good bad and TERRIBLE @ 5:59

we've only got a quite a basic package which is one of the things I'm going to bring up in a minute which is the issue ▶ SKY GLASS REVIEW, The good bad and TERRIBLE @ 1:33
one of the other issues we've got we've got a basic capacity package we did have the film package we never used it because we've got Netflix and Prime God knows what else so whatever and anyway we like so you've got add to playlist on there so if you want to watch something um you look at oh there's a film is Batman for example but I don't want to watch it now so you put add to playlist and it'll Chuck it on there so now I've come back to it two days later let's say to watch Batman and gonna play it and it says you need to upgrade to watch this and I'm like well no because it was on normal terrestrial but it was on basic Sky TV it wasn't on a pay-per-view type Channel it was just on normal but because that film has now gone and it's only on the sky store or you know whatever pay-per-view type version of that it won't let you watch it so even though senior Sky list your your watched items list you can't watch it unless you've got Sky store oh no it's not not got Sky store it's you've paid for the film package then so if you haven't paid for the film package you won't let you watch it ▶ SKY GLASS REVIEW, The good bad and TERRIBLE @ 7:47
