Sky Glass TV

As expected, Sky (Sky Broadband) has today announced the launch of their new standalone 'Sky Stream' product, which uses your home broadband ISP and WiFi.

The operator added that Sky Stream would be “compatible with any broadband provider“, provided your ISP connection can deliver a minimum download speed of 10Mbps (same as the USO level). But that began to change last year with their new Sky Glass product, which made it possible to stream their TV channels and content over a broadband connection ( [here](https://www.ispreview.co.uk/index.php/2021/10/sky-uk-unveil-new-sky-glass-streaming-broadband-tv-platform.html)). Sky claims that ‘Stream’ will be the “most affordable way to get Sky TV and Netflix together“, with combined packages starting from £26 a month on an 18-month term (£29 for a 31-day term) – this covers Sky Ultimate TV & the Netflix Basic plan. Broadly speaking, this looks a lot more like the product that consumers have long hoped to see from Sky and is likely to get a warmer reception than Sky Glass, since many people already have highly capable TVs and don’t want to be forced to use a bespoke model from Sky.

Sky is launching their highly anticipated Stream box - a Sky TV package that doesn't require a dish or a long-term contract. Here's everything we know.

It’s unclear where this puts NOW, which is still cheaper than Sky Stream, but is disadvantaged in some ways – it’ll be interesting to see where NOW goes in the coming months. Unlike Sky Glass, where you’re paying for Sky’s service AND the TV itself, with Sky Stream you only pay for the Sky package (and add-ons) you’re interested in. The basic Sky Stream package costs £29/month and includes Sky Ultimate, which offers Sky Entertainment (a pack of channels like Sky Atlantic, Sky Max and others), Freeview, and the basic Netflix plan which only has SD content. [Freeview channels (though some are missing)](https://www.cordbusters.co.uk/major-freeview-channels-missing-sky-glass/) – without needing [a Freeview aerial](https://www.cordbusters.co.uk/best-indoor-aerial-freeview-tv/), as those too are streamed to you via broadband (we’re waiting to hear from Sky whether the Freeview channels list is indeed identical to the one on Glass).

Sky Stream supports 4K and HDR, as well as Dolby Atmos pass-through (as long as you have a Dolby Atmos soundbar/speakers), though those require a paid add-on. Like Glass, the Stream box doesn’t have any direct recording features – instead, all of the content is streamed directly to you, either from Sky or one of its content partners (such as BBC iPlayer, ITV Hub, etc). [Sky Glass – the streaming TV from Sky](https://www.cordbusters.co.uk/sky-glass-tv-review/), and uses the same interface – but you only get a small box, instead of a new TV set. [to Sky’s “puck”](https://www.cordbusters.co.uk/sky-puck-standalone-streaming-box/) – the box people can get today as an add-on to Sky Glass. Sky has announced today the launch of its new ‘Stream’ box (formerly known as the Sky Puck) – a standalone streaming set-top box that doesn’t require a dish – and doesn’t require a long-term contract (though a contract can still lower your price). The pricing for the new box is quite competitive, at least compared to traditional pay-TV: £29/month for the basic tier which includes Sky Ultimate and Netflix Basic and a 31-days rolling contract, or £26/month if you sign an 18-months contract (there’s also a set-up fee – see full pricing details below).

Sky has announced a new service called Sky Stream, providing its service to any TV over wifi without any installation or dish required.

This is the news many Sky subscribers have been waiting for, as it means that they can now enjoy all the dish- and cable-free convenience of Sky's streaming ...

Sky has to date, though, been keen to control pretty tightly the hardware it uses to deliver its unique and ever-evolving Sky interface, and I’m not sure that will change any time soon. The Sky Stream is being introduced as an addition to the Sky product family rather than replacing anything. Both of these package options include Sky Ultimate TV and Netflix Basic subscriptions, but you can also, of course, add extra service ‘packs’ such as Sky Cinema, Sky Sports, and BT Sport, as well as features such as UHD resolution pictures and Dolby Atmos sound.
