Sky is introducing new features to Entertainment OS, the Sky Glass and Sky Stream operating system.
Entertainment OS 1.1 brings in Personalised Playlists, a new ’Play’ voice command to help play what you want to watch even quicker, more ways to find content from favourite actors and directors, as well as enhanced Bluetooth features.
The updates will be available to all customers by 4 February.
Personalised Playlists make it possible to create a list of what you might want to watch from the TV guide, on demand and apps. It is based on the existing Playlist feature and extends the functionality to five playlists, for example enabling parents to separate their own viewing from that of their children, or creating a family list.
A new ‘Play’ voice command allows viewers to pick up a show from the moment they left off, rather than need to go via a Show Page or search results.
On Sky Glass, it’s now possible listen via Bluetooth headphones at the same time as Sky Glass’ speakers are playing. It means customers who are hard of hearing can listen with their headphones while watching with the rest of their household.
