Sky Go is a great way to enjoy Sky channels on your laptop, iPhone, iPad, or Android tablet or phone when you’re away from home, but how can you get Sky Go to work on a TV, to enjoy your favourite Sky shows on a big screen? Here’s all you need to know.

Mar 03, 2017  They say the min spec is a 1.8 Core Duo and mini is 2.26 with 3gb ram connected to a LG HD TV via HDMI. Is any one using Sky Go on this sort of setup or even a much newer mac mini connected to a hd tv? Does it perform this badly for you? Or is it fine? Looking for any experiences good or bad to try and find out if it is just me? Have bought an Apple AV adapter and HDMO cable to watch Skygo on my TV from the app on my ipad just to get the bigger screen. Does anyone know if this is blocked by sky? I can watch BT sport this way from the ipad but not sky.

How do I use Sky Go to watch Sky shows and movies?

If you’ve headed away on holiday and you’re a Sky subscriber, then chances are you’ve got the Sky Go app installed on your phone, tablet or laptop. If not, head to your device’s app store – for iPhone and iPad users, check out the App Store; for Android users, go to the Google Play store; and laptop users can find the necessary software on Sky’s website.

With this installed, you need to login with your Sky ID and password. You should have set this up when you first joined Sky.

• Oct 16, 2016 Hi I can watch SKYGO on my laptop but it will not let me watch on my tv. I have connected my windows 8.1 laptop to my tv by HDMI. I have tried using IE11 & Firefox. The page on my laptop shows on my tv i.e.the menu for the sky programmes, but when I try to watch a programme it comes up with.

Sky Go

With that done, you’re free to browse and enjoy Sky programming on your mobile device. You can also download shows and movies (depending on your Sky package) to watch while you’re offline if you’re a Sky Go Extra customer, which is particularly useful when you’re heading abroad on holiday.

So how do I get Sky Go on a TV, to enjoy Sky on a big screen when I’m away from home?

Of course, if your hotel has a TV, you might want to connect your mobile device to the telly so you can enjoy Sky shows on a bigger screen. It’s especially more comfortable if you’re watching something with the whole family, instead of cramming all your heads around a tablet.

Sadly, you can’t simply connect your phone or tablet to a TV and then play Sky Go content. Sky Go doesn’t support HDMI connections from mobile devices, or the various forms of screen casting such as Chromecast; if you attempt to use Sky Go while your mobile device is connected to a telly, you’ll simply get a warning message and the app won’t work.

Likewise, Smart TVs currently don’t support Sky Go, so you won’t find the app available to download for your telly’s app store.

The only way you can enjoy Sky Go on a big screen is by using a laptop. Connect your laptop to a TV using an HDMI cable and you can then stream your Sky Go content as before, with your movies and shows appearing on the larger panel.

It’s unlikely that Sky will add support for streaming Sky Go from an iPad, iPhone or Android device any time soon, unfortunately.

  I can't comment specifically on Sky Go, but most services don't allow such use - they are only allowed on phones and small screens, the app blocks the external monitor.

  You can use sky go on a pc with an hdmi to a tv but at the moment the app is a total mess and i would not even install it
• #4

  IRC when I had Sky and Sky Go it was fine with a PC it was devices such as tablets and Android set-top boxes where HDMI restrictions came into play (unless some sort of HDMI spoofing was included in the firmware).

  If you use Sky Go app on a Windows PC or Laptop
  and link the PC/Laptop to the TV via HDMI
  you will be able to see the picture
  and obviously change the sound source to the TV too,
  it can be done exactly the same as with the dedicated Windows 10 BT Sport App
  (which incidentally is a million times better)
  Sky in this respect is an absolute disgrace and should be thoroughly embarrassed by the quality.
  I’m guessing they may have a dedicated Sky Q Windows 10 App on the horizon for when they bring out their Smart TV Sky Q Apps.

  I highly doubt Sky will produce any Windows 10 specific apps. The limitations imposed by the Windows App store make it impossible for them to distribute the Go app via that and I'd expect any Q app (if they decide to launch one) would have the same problem.

  You’re probably right.
  Can only hope though.
  Do we know which Smart TV platforms they will be supporting when their Sky Q Apps do come out?

  LG to start perhaps Samsung later!?!
