However, note that some content partners won’t show up as “apps”, but instead require a direct subscription via Sky – BT Sport is one such example. Spotify –The popular music streaming service, with more than 60 million songs – there’s a free tier (with adverts), and a Premium paid tier. ITVX – The catch-up and box-sets streaming app from ITV, with thousands of shows and films, including many exclusive productions. ITVX On Sky Glass The streaming-based TV from Sky, Sky Glass has been around since 2021, marking the first step in Sky’s shift towards streaming services. In addition to Sky’s channels and the Freeview channels, it also includes streaming apps – much like other streaming devices.

Sky Glass shares a lot with its young brother, Sky Stream, which Sky launched last year – including the list of available channels and apps, and the way it records some content to the cloud. STV Player – The on-demand video streaming service of the popular Scottish broadcaster, with box-sets and exclusive programmes. Discovery+– The streaming service that replaced Discovery’s Dplay (which was totally free), with a combined offering of both free and “premium”channels. Sky Stream (as well as Sky Q and Sky Glass) customers can currently get Discovery+ at no extra cost.Also, the list isn’t even identical to Sky Q’s list of apps and channels – but the differences aren’t as big these days. My5: Channel 5’s streaming and catch-up app was curiously missing from Stream for a long time – but it was finally added in 2023.

Prime Video also offers many Prime Video Channels, which is a way to get some channels that are otherwise missing from Sky. That was a significant change for Sky, along with the promise of contract-free content (so you don’t have to get a fixed long-term contract with Glass). Some notable apps that we would love to see on Sky Glass in the future, but are currently missing, are Pluto TV, Plex, Twitch and others. PlayWorks –Games that you can play directly on your TV screen, by using the Sky Stream remote. The games include classics like Tetris, Solitaire and Mah Jongg, as well as mobile hits like Doodle Jump and Crossy Road. BBC Sounds –The BBC radio app, which includes both live versions of BBC’s radio channels, as well as a rich library of podcasts and radio dramas. BBC SoundsGolfPass –A subscription-based service that brings you golf tuition from the world’s best players and coaches as well as exclusive shows, Golf Channel films, programming, original content and live feeds.
