How to Set Up IPTV on Sky Glass & Sky Stream

This is the most-searched Sky question in the UK IPTV market, and it deserves a straight answer. Sky Glass and Sky Stream run a Sky-controlled build of Android, and Sky's terms of use do not permit installing third-party applications on them. The practical route is not to try.

Setting up Sky Glass & Sky Stream, step by step

  • 1. Use a spare HDMI port instead — Sky Glass televisions have HDMI inputs. Plug in a Firestick, Android box or Chromecast — this is ordinary use of a television and changes nothing about the Sky software or your Sky account.
  • 2. Set up the external device normally — Follow our Firestick or Android box guide. The picture on the Sky Glass panel is identical to running the app natively.
  • 3. Switch input to watch — Use the Sky remote's input button, or the source menu, to move between Sky's interface and the streaming device.

Tips that save you time

  • The "Sky Glass downloader code" people search for is a Fire OS feature, not a Sky one — if you have a Firestick plugged into a Glass TV, that is the code you want
  • Sky Stream pucks have no spare HDMI input, so use a separate device plugged into the television itself
  • Nothing here modifies your Sky subscription or breaches your Sky contract — you are switching HDMI input, nothing more

Common questions

Frequently asked

Can I install an IPTV app directly on Sky Glass?
Sky's terms of use do not permit sideloading third-party applications, and Sky can restrict it. Use an external device on an HDMI port instead — same television, same picture, no issue.
Will this affect my Sky subscription?
No. Plugging a device into an HDMI port is ordinary use of a television. Your Sky account and software are untouched.
Is Sky Glass a good TV for this?
The panel and sound are good, and it works fine as a display for an external streaming device. You are simply not using Sky's software for that input.
