Anyone got Sky Glass?

DonDon, I apologise if I appeared to ignore your post which I'm sure is sound advice, but the TV operator in our house is my other half (also over 80) and the thought of more gadgets and their learning processes, filled me with dread so wrongfully I did ignore it.
I've no idea how popular Glass is but I'm a great fan of Sky and if there is need for improvement and a market they will provide.

Are there any known plans by Sky to remove the dish requirement, but use internet only but without a TV attachment?

I am a litle tired of the "you Sky box cannot be located" message on the Q system where I have to reboot all the boxes in a specific order.

Sky stream is available just now, but you can't get the months free trial if already with sky.

Let me check the minimum speed requirements, I have an internet load balancer to get 3 lines together to get a little bit of speed but in the past Sky could not cope with the fluctuating IP addresses.

Have just cancelled Sky after 15 years, and mainly watch the catch up apps and YouTube. Must admit it feels good to not be paying those robbers £60 a month any more
