Sky’s Glass TV and Stream puck round out its complement of streaming devices as shuffles away from satellite transmission and more towards delivery of content over the internet.
Both devices look to make it easier for customers to watch their favourite content, whether it’s through Sky TV or through the many number of apps available on Sky’s Entertainment OS.
Our initial reaction to Sky Glass was mixed but it has softened a little over time, as you can read in our review. We were more favourable to the Stream puck, which allows the option of pairing it to whichever existing TV or sound system you have.
What’s great about both devices, though, is the sheer wealth of content available on Sky’s Entertainment OS platform, with programming available from Apple TV+, Disney+ and Netflix. Sky has promised to add more apps, and it has lived up to that promise so far, so for a full rundown of what’s available on both Sky Glass and the Stream puck, have a look below.
