Not just a new TV.
A whole new way to watch.
From launching the UK’s first satellite TV network, to bringing the
first high-definition TV service to the country, Sky has always been For me, Sky Glass
focused on using technology to transform the role of TV in the home.
With Sky Glass, we’ve developed a product that reflects how people
is more than just a
watch television today and for years to come.
We wanted to create a TV smart enough to make life simple. A TV

to help people quickly get to what they love. And, of course, great
entertainment deserves exceptional sound and picture to match.
We’ve written this guide to give you a sense not only of the many
capabilities and technologies of Sky Glass, but the rationale behind
the decisions we’ve made during its development. Please test,
compare and kick the tyres of Sky Glass; get stuck in and see what
it’s capable of. We’re hugely proud of what we’ve created, and hope
that once you’ve seen it in action, you’ll understand why.

Experience is everything
Everything you need to know about Sky Glass, the streaming TV from Sky.
Sky. Inside.
Sky Glass comes with Sky inside, so all
you have to do is connect to WiFi and get
streaming. One TV. One plug. One remote.
Easy.
Behind the glass
Sky Glass is equipped with a
powerful quad-core AmLogic ARM
A55 processor to keep the whole
operation speedy and slick.

TV never looked so good
Elegantly designed and built with premium-grade, anodised aluminium and woven
acoustic mesh, Sky Glass is engineered to harness formidable sound and vision.
Available in a unique collection of five rich hues, Sky Glass comes with a colour
coordinated frame and stand. Plus customisable speaker fascias, with special
editions coming soon.
Even picking the right size is easy. Small, medium, or large. Simple as that.
Sky Glass has a unique mounting bracket cleverly integrated into the TV so it fits
elegantly against the wall. Or on a sleek, colour-matched stand. Whichever you prefer.
The collaboration with Sky enabled us to
reinterpret the look and feel of the television as
more of a domestic object. We employed a bold
design approach which looks to celebrate the real
estate created by the technology which is packed
intricately inside. This helped to create a unique
visual language which Sky could truly own within
the congested landscape of consumer hardware.
