Sky's managed to bring the gap down to nine seconds on its main Sky Sports channel now - which benefits all Sky Glass models and Sky Stream.
However, Sky is planning to release a new Sky Glass Air model later this year without the soundbar, allowing the TV to be a lot slimmer - and cheaper.
And you don't have to be a Sky Broadband customer to use Sky Glass - unlike rival streamed TV devices from Virgin Media and EE that require their own broadband.
However, one highly popular feature on Sky Q will undoubtedly deter satellite loyalists from converting to Sky Glass anytime soon.
A note for PS5 and Xbox Series X owners, Sky Glass Gen 2 is still stuck with a 60Hz refresh rate, less than the 120Hz desired by most power gamers - however, I wasn't able to test gaming myself.
