When I took delivery of the second-generation Sky Glass, I was tempted to take the easy route. The delivery guys kindly offered to set it up for me. But it turns out that installation is more seamless than the first-generation model. In fact, my only regret about not seeking Sky’s help was that the 65-inch TV was a beast to carry up the stairs (though, and here’s the first upgrade, it’s lighter than the first version). Here’s all you need to know about the new model.

Sky Glass Gen 2: What It Is
Sky Glass broke the mold in British TV three years ago. Until then, if you wanted Sky’s hundreds of channels of TV programming, you needed a Sky box, such as the Sky Q set-top box, which is still available, and an external satellite dish. Plus, of course, your own TV and sound system.

Sky Glass, both generations, consists of a TV, with built-in Sky programming, and an integrated soundbar. Not much more you need to plug in, then, though there are 3 HDMI sockets for games consoles, for instance.
The Sky programming, which includes access to services like Netflix, Apple TV+, Prime Video, Disney+ and Paramount+, all comes through the internet rather than a satellite dish. Providing you have decent Wi-Fi, then this is a good upgrade — no more worries that a storm will take your satellite connection away at the worst moment.
The TVs come in a variety of colors, though the second-gen model choices amount to just three: Volcanic Grey, Arctic Silver and Atlantic Blue. Sky says these are the most popular three from the original version’s five. The size options remain the same: 43 inches, 55 inches and the 65-incher mentioned above.
