Can you mount Sky Glass TV to the wall?

Yes, you can mount a Sky Glass TV on the wall. According to the Important Safety and Product Information leaflet that comes with Sky Glass, you shouldn’t attempt to wall mount the TV yourself.

Instead, it has to be done by a professional to ensure it’s done correctly and avoid potential damage to the device. The installation also requires two people.

A very experienced DIYer could likely manage the job as long as they follow the installation instructions closely and have someone to assist them.

Although, it’s important that you only attempt to mount the TV yourself if you have relevant skills and experience, as Sky accepts no responsibility for damage to TVs or personal injuries, as they explicitly state that you shouldn’t install it without professional help.

How to wall mount a Sky Glass TV?

According to Sky, Sky Glass TVs should be wall mounted by a professional installer, as it’s a fairly complicated and potentially dangerous project for the inexperienced.

For skilled DIYers and professional installers, the tools you’ll need for the job are:

• Drill and drill bit
• Screwdriver or spanner
• Hammer
• Spirit level
• Appropriate wall fixings

It’s essential that you refer to Sky’s official wall mounting guide, as it contains diagrams that will help you.

Here are the 10 steps involved in the wall mounting process:

1. Drill a hole in the wall as marked by the template that comes with the TV, then carefully remove the lower part of the template
2. Loosely screw the bracket into the hole using one of your fixings
3. Using your fixings, secure the bracket to the wall, remembering to fit the four spacers between the wall and bracket
4. Check the bracket is level using a spirit level and adjust as necessary
5. Plug any cables you need into the TV, but don’t connect to the mains yet
6. Lift the TV and align it with the template
7. Make sure the top edge is parallel to line A
8. With the TV flat against the wall, lower it until the top edge aligns with B
9. Carefully remove remaining paper template
10. Plug into the mains and enjoy

What’s the fuss with the Sky Glass TV?

Sky Glass TVs are in high demand at the moment. They’re a new type of 4K TV released by Sky that come with a Sky Box built-in, meaning all channels are through Wi-Fi and online streaming services. The TV also has many other cool features.

Because Sky Glass TVs require professional installation, many homeowners have questions surrounding the topic of wall mounting these devices.

Another key benefit of the Sky Glass TV – because it uses the internet and streaming services, it means you no longer need your Sky dish/aerial on the front or back of your house. Meaning you can remove that eyesore if you want to!
