Tech: Sky launches TV that streams content using ONLY the internet




A TV that streams content without a satellite dish have been launched by British broadcaster Sky, according to reports.

The tv, called Sky Glass and described by Sky as a "no-fuss" streaming TV, will stream content using the internet.

According to the company, Sky Glass eliminates the need for an external box - and with built-in Dolby Atmos, there is no need for a sound bar either.

It is expected to come in three versions - 43in, 55in and 65in, have a single wire and just one plug, have 4K ultra-high-definition quantum-dot screen, have 10-bit high dynamic range to support Dolby Vision HDR
voice-activated interface and would also be available in five colours.

"Sky Glass is the streaming TV with Sky inside, providing the total integration of hardware, software and content," group chief executive Dana Strong said.

"We believe this is the smartest TV available."

Even though it will require a Sky subscription, content from BBC iPlayer, Amazon, Netflix, Disney+, ITV Hub and All4 will also be available.

The TV is available from 18 October in the UK, and in other markets next year.
