Turning over in your sleep only to have the 55-inch QLED screen switch on and recommend the next episode of Succession doesn't sound like a formula for a winning nights' kip. If you decide to place this all-in-one telly in your bedroom, you might be wondering how the Glance Motion Technology described above will work. That's not the only night-time feature baked into Sky Glass. To solve this, Night Mode automatically boosts dialogue, especially if characters are whispering or the action on-screen is very quiet, and drops the bass and sound when people start shouting, car engines are screaming, and the action film kicks into another gear. While it's tempting to crank-up the volume to hear the dialogue – a sudden explosion or rattle of gunfire on-screen can be loud enough to wake-up younger members of the household who are sleeping upstairs.

Dubbed Night Mode, this optional feature is designed to help late-night movie fans.

SONOS PLAY DOWNLOAD
Likewise with Sky Go, you won't need to download the recordings saved on the hard-drive in your Sky Q box onto an iPad before you can take them with you. Instead, they connect to Wi-Fi and stream episodes from the same servers. It also means that, unlike with Sky Q, multi-room devices around the house won't connect to the main set-top box. So, families can expect to see more children's shows recommended in the morning, with blood-thirsty horror films relegated to the end of the day when younger viewers are in bed. Sky refreshes its recommendations six times a day and tailors the suggestions based on the time of day. If you spot something you like, you can pick-up the remote and immediately jump into the listing for the boxset, blockbuster or sport fixture suggested on-screen. Suggestions will be based on your viewing history and will be tailored to your telly package, so you won't see a load of Premier League games recommended if you don't pay for Sky Sports. So, if you flop down onto the sofa after a long day, Sky Glass will automatically wake-up the screen and begin cycling through a carousel of recommended shows and movies.Įach recommendation includes the title, channel, and gorgeous fullscreen artwork.
