Sky Glass Gen 2 (2025)

This model has a built-in far-field microphone, which is the hardware hands-free voice control uses.

What a far-field mic does →

Sky's own product page describes a microphone built into the TV itself (not just the remote): you can say "Hello Sky" to control it hands-free. Sky's own materials also describe a microphone mute button on the side of the TV, and a voice button on the remote as an alternative.

What that actually means for your TV →

Sky's live software-version page listed current Gen 2 builds QS037.046.00P and QS038.015.00P when checked in September 2026. This establishes active support on that date, but Sky does not promise a minimum future support period.

What ACR is and how to turn it off →

Sky's addressable-advertising system is branded "AdSmart" and is well documented as targeting ads using first-party subscriber/account data (location, household composition, viewing history tied to the Sky account) — but no source found describes Sky Glass performing on-device automatic content recognition (audio/video fingerprinting of what's on screen) the way LG's Live Plus, Samsung's Viewing Information Services, or Vizio's Viewing Data do. AdSmart may be a materially different mechanism (account-level ad insertion rather than device-side fingerprinting), so this stays unverified rather than being mapped onto the ACR claim other brands make.

Whether this model looks for other devices on your home network hasn't been confirmed from a citable source yet.
