Slim, lightweight and with a bright 4K picture, Sky’s low-cost TV shines because of its software and service

ky’s latest streaming TV aims to be a good, all-in-one budget option for your sitting room – and it achieves all those aims, leaving it standing strong in a field of mediocre, similarly priced appliances.
The Glass Air is a lighter, slimmer and cheaper version of the Glass gen 2 and is arguably the low-cost TV Sky should have launched first, coming in three sizes starting at £309 or just £6 a month on 48-month interest-free credit with £20 upfront.
As with its pricier siblings, Glass Air requires a Sky subscription for full use, which costs from £15 a month for the Essential TV pack. It will function as a basic smart TV with streaming apps, an aerial and its three HDMI ports, but you would not buy any Sky TV without the intention of paying for its TV-over-broadband service.
