If you want to buy a Sky Glass TV this morning... you'd better not be fussy about the colour.
Sky warns that its Ceramic White finish is low in stock, but Ocean Blue and Dusky Pink are completely out of stock. Only the Anthracite Black and Racing Green are available to add to your basket immediately.
Sky Glass, co-designed by a team that works on Sonos speakers, is designed to blend in with the décor in your home. To do that, shoppers can have a colour-matched speaker cover or pick a contrasting option to customise the look of the Glass TV. Limited edition covers to shield the Dolby Atmos-certified speaker are sold on Amazon.
Exact stock levels depend on the screen size, but it's clear that Sky TV is struggling to maintain demand for its bestselling all-in-one Smart TV. If you're a fan of the Dusty Pink finish, you'll struggle to find it in any of the current screen sizes

But Sky is seriously struggling with stock levels for these speaker covers. Ceramic White, Dusky Pink, Racing Green, and Ocean Blue are all sold-out. The only colour you'll be able to bag for speaker cover is Anthracite Black.
Stock levels vary depending on the screen size you choose. Sky Glass is available in 43", 55", and 65".
Sky Glass is an all-in-one solution that bundles a 4K QLED panel, Dolby Atmos-certified soundbar, hands-free voice controls, and everything you need to stream, pause, and rewind live television. Since everything is beamed via Wi-Fi, there's no need for a satellite dish or an engineer appointment to get started. Usually £28, you can save £144 over two years when you sign-up for the Ultimate TV bundle today
The most expansive 65-inch screen size has much better stock levels for the speaker covers, with Ocean Blue, Anthracite Black, and Racing Green all available at the moment.
But the 55-inch variant — which was the single best-selling Smart TV model in the UK last year — is now only available to buy in Anthracite Black.
We've contacted the team at Sky TV to ask what's going on with these stock shortages. We'll update this article if we hear back about what is causing these shortages.
However, it's possible the low stock is related to the next major launch from Sky TV.
Sky TV has sent-out invitations to a mysterious event in February, where it's promising to unveil something "smarter, brighter, and better than ever" to add to its lineup SKY TV PRESS OFFICE That's because Sky TV has confirmed plans to hold a blockbuster event where it will announce something "smarter, brighter and better than ever."
That's all we know right now ...theories about exactly what this mystery new product could be range from a second-generation Sky Glass television, replacing the model introduced back in October 2021, to a next-generation satellite set-top box that replaces the ageing Sky Q kit.
GB News has been invited to the event and will be bringing you all the latest updates as soon as they’re announced.
The first-generation Sky Glass launched in the UK in 2021. This all-in-one Smart TV shipped with everything you'd need to enjoy the latest Sky TV shows, sports fixtures, and movies: a QLED screen with 4K UHD resolution, Dolby Atmos-certified soundbar, hands-free voice controls, and everything you'd need to stream the complete Sky TV experience.
Available in 43-, 55-, and 65-inches, Glass shipped in a choice of five colours designed to ensure the widescreen telly would fit with your home décor.
The compact Sky Stream device followed, offering the same streaming capabilities in a smaller puck-shaped unit that could connect to your existing telly.
In recent weeks, Sky launched its most affordable package yet — dubbed Sky Essentials, priced at £15 per month, which includes the Sky Stream set-top box, over 100 channels including Sky Atlantic, plus Netflix and Discovery+.
Sky Stream has never been this affordable. The broadcaster has just launched an affordable new bundle of channels and on-demand services, dubbed TV Essentials. It includes its plug-and-play Sky Stream box, over 100 live channels including Sky Atlantic — the exclusive home of shows like Game of Thrones, And Just Like That, and The White Lotus. You'll also find a subscription to Netflix and Discovery+ included too and can upgrade to Sky Cinema and Sky Sports at an extra cost.
It misses some of the other exclusive Sky TV channels, like Sky History, Sky Crime, as well as MTV, TLC, included with its pricier Ultimate TV package, which costs £22 per month.
The original Sky Glass television hasn't been refreshed since its debut in October 2021, making it a prime candidate for an upgrade. This theory is supported by comments made in last summer by Fraser Stirling, Global Chief Product Officer for Sky and Comcast, who confirmed that "new versions of Sky Glass" were coming "down the line" in an interview with gadget magazine, T3.
The use of "brighter" in the event invitation particularly suggests a television-focused announcement. Some early reviews of the first-generation Sky Glass were critical of its QLED display, with the switch to a brand-new panel an easy upgrade for any potential successor.
Sky Glass has an optional accessory, known as Sky Live, that adds a 4K UHD webcam for video calls from the comfort of your sofa, communal viewing experience with other Sky Glass owners in the UK, and fitness apps, like Mvmnt (shown above)

Of course, the invitation also teases something "smarter" is incoming, which could hint at an entirely new product line from the broadcaster. Since the launch of the first Sky Glass, the company has expanded into other product categories, most recently with the arrival of its own home protection gadgets.
Finally, "better than ever" suggests that we'll see something at the event that's an upgrade to a product that already exists.
Whatever the teams at Sky TV have up their sleeves... we don't have long left to wait until we find out. GB News has received an invitation to the launch event and will be in the audience to bring you the news about the mysterious "smarter, brighter and better than ever" product launch coming this month.
