Now the firm is hoping to get around that by cutting back on the soundbar to make it a lot thinner. And it means the Sky Glass Air is cheaper than the standard Sky Glass too.

The advantage is that you have no storage limits like a Q box, but it also means you don't have control of how long it stays online - and you can't rely on it during rare outages too. Sky Offers Free Movie Gift and More The new Sky Glass Air TV goes on sale from June 10 in three colours - Sea Green, Carbon Grey, and Cotton White. There are three sizes too, including 43-inches (from £6 per month), 55-inches (from £10 per month), and 65-inches (from £13 per month). "With Sky Glass Air, we're bringing the Sky experience to more people through a beautifully designed TV with stunning picture quality from just £6 a month," said Carli Kerr, MD of Sky TV & NOW. "It's all about giving people better for less: more choice, great tech, and the content they love, without compromising on quality. "From the ultimate performance of Glass Gen 2 to the incredible value of Air, there's now a Sky Glass to suit everyone, whether you're new to Sky or already with us." Instead of going into a 24 or 48 month contract for Sky Glass Air, customers can opt to buy the TV outright if they prefer. 43-inches costs £309 and 55-inches is £509, while the 65-inch option comes to £649. Those who want more channels can upgrade to Sky Ultimate TV for an extra £7 per month Sky Max, Sky Comedy, Sky Documentaries, Sky Crime, Expert predicts the future of Sky Q A TV expert believes it's "unlikely" Sky will ever release a new satellite product. Paolo Pescatore, an expert for PP Foresight, told The Sun it is "highly unlikely" Sky will ever release a new satellite box "given the investment and timescales with the TV switch off that's around the corner". Last year, Sky signed a contract extension with satellite operator SES that takes the service up to 2029. "Ultimately Sky would prefer to migrate all users onto its IP based products which in turn will lead to the end of Sky Q," Paolo said. "It is reliable, robust and serves customers needs. "They do not want to buy another telly with Sky inside for now."

Watch out Freeview - Sky confirms cheaper way to watch TV and it launches soon
Sky is back with a new way to tune into content and some might be surprised by the price. If getting a Sky TV has always seemed too expensive, but you are fed up with Freeview - watch this space. Sky has finally confirmed that its latest Glass Air television will arrive in the UK next week and the price might surprise you. This latest screen was first announced all the way back in February but since it was shown to world we've heard little else about it. That's now changed with Sky saying it will officially go on sale from June 10th. So how much is it going to cost you and what do you get for your money. On contract, prices will start from just £6 per month for the 43-inch model (it's also available in 55 and 65-inch sizes). For that money you get a pixel-packed 4K HDR Quantum Dot display, a sleek design with slim bezels and Dolby Atmos-powered audio to help improve the sound of those nightly boxsets. To help it blend into your rooms, it even comes in three colours, including Sea Green, Carbon Grey, and Cotton White. Another bonus of switching to a Sky TV is that they don't need a dish stuck to the walls to work. Instead, all content is beamed to the big screen via an internet connection. Along with full live channels plus and on-demand content, Sky Glass Air also has full access to all the most popular streaming apps like Netflix, Disney+ and Apple TV+. Thanks to Sky's impressive in-built operating system you also get personalised recommendations for each member of the family and a Playlists option where you can store things to watch at a later date. Now, you might be thinking that £6 sounds too good to be true. Of course, that low price doesn't include any premium channels such as Sports or Cinema and the more you add the bigger the bill will get. If you want a larger screen, these are also more expensive. Sky says homes can add its basic Essential TV option for £15 bringing the total monthly price to £21 per month. It's also worth remembering that you will be paying that £6 price for 48 months. Sky has confirmed that customers can also opt to pay for Sky Glass Air upfront, all in one go. Upfront pricing starts from £309 for the 43-inch screen with things rising to £649 for the 65-inch model. Speaking about the launch Carli Kerr, MD of Sky TV & NOW said, "With Sky Glass Air, we're bringing the Sky experience to more people through a beautifully designed TV with stunning picture quality from just £6 a month. It's all about giving people better for less: more choice, great tech, and the content they love, without compromising on quality. From the ultimate performance of Glass Gen 2 to the incredible value of Air, there's now a Sky Glass to suit everyone, whether you're new to Sky or already with us."
