BT/EE tv package with Sky Glass TV

Laney2222 — Sat, 06 Sep 2025 16:01:33 GMT

Hi, has anyone cancelled their sky subscription and taken up BT/EE Entertainment package using a Sky Glass TV? What are the implications of doing this, does everything work in the same way? We have BT Broadband (if that's relevant).

If you want to subscribe to an Entertainment package with the EETV PRO box, you can plug the box into one of the 3 HDMI sockets on the SKY Glass TV and it will work like it would on any other TV.

You could also get Sky from EE/BT and they will send you a puck which as above you simply plug into the Sky glass tv.

The obvious question is why? The whole point of getting glass was it had Sky baked in without the need for external boxes

Otherwise save literally hundreds and do the above with a decent 4k tv and a soundbar.

As I understand it if you don't factory reset your Glass TV after cancelling your Sky sub, (keep your Sky account active), then all apps will remain available to use, plus you can use the inbuilt tuner to scan for Freeview channels (if you have an aerial). Then just use the HDMI inputs for the Youview box, (or Apple TV, depending on your preferences).

Sky's TV package has escalated in cost. Taking up BT's offer would be a minimum saving of £13.00 per month. We got the Sky Glass TV a couple of years ago when we needed to replace our current TV and got a really good package deal. Their customer service has also been dreadful during a house move this year.

Do I need one of the BT engineers to do anything complicated in getting everything up and running? They charge £30.00 for someone to do it.

Depends on how well you cope with this type of technology. It's not that difficult to set everything up yourself, just plug in the box, connect to TV etc etc. If you did it yourself with Glass this should be no different. The only thing you may need is an aerial installer if you go down the Youview route. Even then you have the option to select IP delivery (internet) instead of aerial. It's worth noting that you'll get less channels over IP, but you will get more HD channels than available on Freeview.

Unless you need to record, you'd be better off subscribing directly to Now for the service.

There isn't a Now app on the Glass TV, and that's really not much use if he needs Terrestrial TV without an aerial.

Thanks for all your help. I did the Sky Glass myself, so I should be ok then.
