Sky has confirmed that its Glass TV will finally be available to buy in more places across the UK making it easier to try before you buy.
If you’ve been pondering making the switch to Sky’s smart Glass TV it’s about to get easier to check out and try these internet-connected screens before you take the plunge.
Until now, the only way to purchase Sky Glass was to order via the firm’s website or take a trip to one of a few dedicated retail stores that are dotted across the country. There’s also been no way to place this device side-by-side with rival screens from the likes of Samsung, Sony and LG.
Luckily, that is now changing with Sky confirming that it has joined forces with Currys to offer users an easier way to check out its big screens.
Sky Glass will soon be on display in over 200 Currys stores across the nation so you can pop to your local shop and take this telly for a quick spin to see if you like it.
And that might not be the only reason to take the plunge.
To celebrate the launch of the partnership, there’s also a deal that is offering Sky Glass with Sky TV and Netflix from just £33 a month. That’s one of the lowest prices available and includes premium content along with endless box sets and movies.
“Sky Glass offers the ultimate TV viewing experience, customers who have it tell us they love it, so we always want to find ways for more people to see and try it, Sophia Ahmad, Chief Consumer Officer at Sky explained.
“We’re excited to be partnering with Currys, the biggest tech retailer, to help bring Sky Glass to the front rooms of even more TV lovers nationwide.”
If you’ve never heard of Sky Glass or aren’t up to speed with this new tech then there’s plenty to like about the device.
Firstly this telly doesn’t need a dish or fussy installation with all content beamed to the the screen via your broadband.
There’s full access to live and on demand shows and movies plus you find all the most popular streaming apps already installed.
Personalised recommendations for each member of the family will pop up on the display, there’s full voice search and you can store thing to watch at a later date via the Playlists function.
Other extras include a backlit remote, the ability to pause live TV, instant catch-up if you’ve missed a show and it’s compatible with the Sky Live camera which makes the screen more interactive.
“Currys is the home of amazing technology, and we’re delighted to be ranging Sky Glass online and across our store portfolio,” said Ed Connolly, Chief Commercial Officer for Currys.
“The customer demand for Sky Glass is clear, a unique all-in-one solution that brings together amazing content, sound and picture, and now our customers can see and experience Sky Glass at Currys for themselves”.
