Sky Glass- New Streaming Service

[JAMES4578]

Some information on Sky's new   internet based  system , there is no satellite dish involved.   However  it requires subscribing to or purchasing Sky's new Glass Tv  which incorporates everything  and 6 inbuilt speakers, so may eliminate the need for a Sound Bar.  Additional Tv's can be connected  for multi viewing via Streaming  Pucks  but these are not  available  (at least not initially ) without the new Tv.   Available in 43,55 and 65 inches with subscription for the base model at £13 per month , £17 for the 55 and £21 for the 65.  (packages to be added of course)   with the Tv paid off over 4 years (though can pay it in 2 if desired) It is actually slighter more expensive to but the Tv's outright  (though not much in it)  

Skyq is still available though question of whether it would be maintained long term if the new model is a success.  However on inspection  it is not the most innovative technology and so there could be problems attracting more discerning customers who may well have superior Tv's and sound equipment .   Though maybe down the line the streaming pucks will be  available separately for use with the customer's own choice of technology.   I have had Sky for quite a while, personally I will be sticking with Skyq.
