Have you heard about the newest exciting ways to watch Sky TV? If not, you’re in the right place. And, yes, it means there’s no need to have a satellite dish attached to your home.
If you’re a current Sky subscriber, you probably have a Sky Q box or perhaps one of their older boxes, which require an aerial or dish in order for you to watch their huge range of entertainment and sport content.
Well, those are a thing of the past with Sky Glass and Sky Stream. Sky Glass offers impressive hardware and Sky Stream easy access to Sky TV with almost no hardware at all as they function solely based on an internet connection.
What’s more, sign up to Sky Stream or Sky Glass through us and you can earn yourself up to £155 in cashback* (depending on the package you choose) until 23:59 on March 2nd.
Which one is the best option for you? Let’s find out.
Sky Glass is an actual TV with Sky TV built into it, as well as a soundbar. Available in various sizes, it’s a sleek bit of hardware.
Sky Stream, meanwhile, offers the same content and navigation as Sky Glass, just without the TV. Instead, it’s a box which gives you Sky TV through the power of the internet, with no dish required.
Let’s look into both options in more detail.
Sky Stream
Sky Stream revolutionises how people will watch televisions in living rooms right across the country with a small, plug-in streaming box.
With it you can stream Sky TV to any TV over Wi-Fi, with no satellite dish necessary.
It features the same smart Sky Glass UI to pull together all your favourite channels, apps and shows.
You’ll get a clever voice remote to control your TV so you can jump right into the action, while there are affordable packages with Netflix and Sky TV available for as little as £1 per day.
The small box will plug into the back of your current TV, giving you the same smart, intuitive user interface and all the intelligent features as Sky Glass, but with your existing TV.
You can add content on live TV or your favourite shows on your streaming service of choice to a playlist for viewing at a later date. If you tune in to a programme halfway through, you can restart it right from the beginning.
It also supports content in UHD and is HDR and Dolby Atmos compatible, so it’ll work with your soundbar and HD-ready TV.
Along with Netflix, you can also access your favourite streaming services, including Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV+, Disney+, BBC iPlayer, ITV X, Discovery+, All 4 and YouTube.
Your package will include Sky Ultimate TV, which offers Sky Entertainment (including Sky Atlantic), the Netflix basic plan and Freeview.
Sky Glass
The main difference with Sky Glass is you get a TV set.
It’s the original way to enjoy Sky without the Satellite dish as it was launched in 2021.
Available in 43”, 55” and 65” screen sizes, Sky Glass is a 4K TV featuring quantum dot technology for better colour reproduction.
It features six powerful speakers and a subwoofer for epic 360-degree Dolby Atmos, giving you a cinematic experience in the comfort of your own home.
The TV comes in five different colours while, like your monthly broadband fee, the Sky Glass payment model cost is flexible and interest free.
As an added bonus, you currently get three months free** Ultimate TV with Sky Glass.
This means all your favourite channels, plus a range you won’t find on Freeview, award-winning Sky Originals and Sky Exclusives, such as House of the Dragon.
Plus, you’ll have access to the amazing content on Netflix, and you don’t have to pay a penny for it for the first three months.
Sky Glass is also the world’s first certified carbon-neutral TV. When you step out of the room — or are too still for too long — it’ll prompt you to lift the remote.
To save on energy consumption, if you don’t do this, it’ll auto switch-off. The screen also automatically adjusts its brightness and all the packaging is recyclable and free from single-use plastic.
Great shows to watch on Sky Stream or Sky Glass
You can watch whatever you want on Sky Stream or Sky Glass, including Sky’s key TV shows for 2023, like A Town Called Malice, Succession and The Last Of Us.
Set among the beach clubs and palm trees of the Costa del Sol in the early 1980s, A Town Called Malice follows the Lords, a crime family of petty thieves from south London as they move to take advantage of an unexpected windfall — and to escape the attention of the police in a high-profile murder enquiry.
March sees the return to Sky of the Roy family for the fourth season of Succession, HBO’s hit drama series starring Brian Cox.
The sale of media conglomerate Waystar Royco to tech visionary Lukas Mattson moves ever closer, provoking existential angst and familial division among the Roys.
The Last Of Us, meanwhile, is proving to be a huge hit on Sky Atlantic. After a pandemic destroys civilization, a hardened survivor takes charge of a 14-year-old girl who may be humanity’s last hope.
You can watch these great shows and much more with Sky Stream or Sky Glass.
Don’t forget, sign up to Sky through us and you can earn yourself up to £155 In cashback* until March 2nd.
* The cashback rate displayed is what Plus members will receive. The Classic rate may vary.
** The offer is available on all size Sky Glass TVs. After the three months free offer, the package is £26 per month.
