Sky TV is getting a massive update before Christmas – including Netflix-style profiles

SKY Glass customers will finally be able to sort individual personalised content onto their TV as part of a huge update coming soon.

Netflix-style profiles will allow each member of the family to see their own favourites on a separate page.

Whether you’re a sports buff or reality TV fan, you’ll be able to create your very own watchlist under Playlists from apps and channels, both live and on demand.

And there’s a shared profile page for all the family as well.

The broadcasting giant is planning to roll out the feature by Christmas, with a load more changes along the way.

The announcement comes just as the firm launches its brand new dish-less Sky Stream plug-in box, which uses the same software as Sky Glass – meaning it too will get the same new features.

Sky has revealed that the Playlist rail will move up the homepage as part of the refresh.

All Playlist rails will now be ordered by most recent.

Continue Watching will be introduced as a new rail on the homepage as well, so it’s super easy to jump to what you were last watching.

There are even actor pages so you can find the very best from your favourite stars.

Sky Glass owners may also notice a vast improvement in picture quality too, as experts are updating the local dimming to provide higher contrast and brightness.

A Vivid Mode in the Options menu provides a ‘punchier’ picture with higher levels of contrast and colour saturation.

And before the end of the year, Sky says it will switch on Bluetooth connectivity, allowing users to listen to Sky Glass with their headphones instead.

Asking for a show with your voice is about to get easier too, with the ability to simply say ‘Play’ followed by the title you want to see, which will automatically play either the first episode or will continue where you left off.
