Sky Q and Sky Glass offer 4K HDR for selected content. IPTV Storm streams in SD, HD, Full HD and 4K depending on the channel and your internet speed. For Premier League matches in 4K you need a minimum 50 Mbps connection — same requirement as Sky Glass.
IPTV Storm works on your existing devices — Firestick, Smart TV, phone, tablet — with no need to buy a Sky Glass (£13-22/month on top of your subscription).
Sky works on Sky Q box, Sky Glass TV, Sky Go app (limited streams). IPTV Storm works on Amazon Firestick, Samsung Smart TV, LG Smart TV, Apple TV, iPhone, Android, MAG box, PC, Mac, Kodi — any device that supports an IPTV app. No proprietary hardware required.
You can also use IPTV Storm outside the UK — Sky Go has geographic restrictions. With IPTV Storm you get full access from anywhere in the world on the same subscription.
Sky locks you into 18-month or 24-month contracts. If you leave early you pay an exit fee — typically £100-300 depending on how many months remain.
