The TV is available as part of your Sky subscription, so you don’t need to pay a penny up front. Monthly prices start from £13 (for the 43-incher), £17 (55in) and £21 (65in).
Glass holes
Sky Glass only needs mains power to get working but you still get three HDMI 2.1 ports and a USB-C socket, so you can plug in your PS5, UHD Blu-ray player and so on.

SO LONG AND THANKS FOR ALL THE DISH
Sky Glass
When you think about it, screwing a metal dish to the outside of your house just so you can have Modern Family beamed into your living room from space is a little bit ridiculous. So don’t bother.
Sky Glass, which is available in 43in, 55in and 65in screen sizes and five different colours, ditches the dish and the box, streaming everything over Wi-Fi instead; all you need to do is plug in the power cable. It’s chunkier than a lot of tellies, mainly because there’s a built-in Dolby Atmos speaker system that uses six drivers for room-filling sound – so you can probably chuck your soundbar too.
Those with bogus broadband might need to explore an upgrade, because the 4K HDR Quantum Dot display means you’ll want to be streaming as many pixels as possible. The telly comes with a sleek glow-in-the-dark remote but pretty much everything can be controlled using your voice: just say “Hello Sky” to turn it on and away you go. You might as well say goodbye to the dish while you’re at it.
