Comcast’s Sky Unveils Sky Glass Streaming TV, Eliminating Need for Satellite Dish $CMCSA $ROKU
Sky is bringing the smartphone model to TVs with the introduction of Sky Glass in the UK. The video service provider, acquired by Comcast in 2018, will sell the TVs with integrated video and streaming app access for a monthly subscription and no upfront fee.

The cost for the Sky Glass device, depending on its size, starts at 649 pounds ($881.88), or 13 pounds ($17.65) per month. On top of the device, the Sky Ultimate TV Package, which includes Sky’s own channels plus networks covered by its carriage deals with other media companies, will cost 26 pounds a month ($35.32). That means the cheapest device plus the Sky Ultimate content package will cost 39 pounds a month ($52.97).

A playlist feature will allow users to collect their favorite content from across Sky, Netflix, Disney+, Amazon and the like in one place rather than having to jump from one app to another to search for it. Sky Glass also includes voice control and motion technology, meaning the TV will turn on when consumers pass in front of it.
