Is sky glass really any good?
I have an old HD box now with magic eye for upstairs
Paying £43 for f1 & signature (no Netflix /discovery +) 
What would it cost to get the same upstairs?
Is there a minimum rental period and does.the charge reduce after this or do you just continue to pay rental on the TV forever - because if the TV is say 5 years old - why should someone pay the same as a new customer with brand new equipment?
Should I be able to get my present choice for less than £43? 
I'm a platinum VIP (21years) 




If I was half as smart as I think I am - I'd be twice as smart as I REALLY am.

    In terms of picture quality, AVForums suggest that Sky Glass sets aren't the best !!

    Presumably the TV is yours after it’s paid for ( 48x£13=£624 ) , is this good value for a 43” TV , you decide, but I would think after the TV is paid for you stop paying the £13 a month, obviously Sky Glass doesn’t on its own give you a multi room option, unless you physically move the TV between rooms , and obviously that doesn’t allow simultaneous viewing of different channels from the TV package on different TV’s etc

    I don't have Sky Glass, but they offer the Sky Stream Puck which allows multiroom on other TV's in the home.

    It's £10 a month for the whole home, the first Puck has no upfront cost, then additional Puck's up to 4 at £50 each upfront cost
