[QUOTE="ALLSAT67, post: 1144125, member: 193211"] In my humble opinion sky glass is not a good idea, streaming high def and 4k is just stupid regardless of how far broadband has come. Streaming is the way everything is going but it wont be for everyone due to broadband not being available in real fibre speeds, so i dont think you can beat a fibre connection close by with catv or a satellite dish. The other thing thats a bit stupid is if the tv breaks due to a fault then your whole system is down. I also believe its BskyB trying to combat IPTV servers because without recievers with hdmi outputs its darn near impossible to use hdmi internet based encoders that IPTV protocol servers rely on and if you look at it from the past sky has been charging a fee per month for multiroom connections...(yes since 1998) and all of a sudden multiroom connections are one off payments. Streaming has its uses but i,ll stick to a solid connection especially looking at how fragile and insecure the internet itself has become which is another reason why i now use open source programmable routers.
