Sky TV services explained
Sky Glass is Sky’s all-in-one TV that uses internet streaming to deliver TV broadcasts, rather than a satellite dish. It includes its own Dolby Atmos sound system andstarts at £14 per month over a 48-month period for a 43-inch model, plus a £10 upfront fee. The entertainment package that also includes Netflix is free for the first 3-months, then £26 per month thereafter.
Sky Stream offers a similar connected experience but through a small set-top-box you plug into an existing TV. It costs nothing for the box itself (for the first, as you can add more to other rooms) - you just need to take out aSky TV package from £26 per month on an 18-month contract.
Sky Q is the company’s satellite TV offering. You canfind out more about it on a separate section of Sky’s website.
All three are capable of up to 4K HDR video playback and Dolby Atmos sound.
