Stream Sky Go To Tv

Posted on 30-04-2021 by admin

You sure can. Sky Go supports Airplay from your iPhone, iPad or the browser extension on your Mac. At this stage Sky Go will only be supporting airplay to Apple TV HD - 4th Gen and Apple TV 4K - the latest Gen.

Make sure your Apple TV & device are on the same wireless network
Go to your TV and select the source your Apple TV is plugged into
Select a show/movie on your Sky Go app and press play
Press the Airplay icon in the bottom right of the Sky Go video controls.

Sky officially offers its streaming app named “TV from Sky” for the PS4. Although it’s not the same app as Sky Go, TV from Sky shares the same content library. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to watch Sky Go on TV using a PlayStation 4: If you have the Sky Q box, you can skip this step. As we know Sky Go is not compatible with Chromecast, so we have to use mirror methods to cast or watch Sky GO on Chromecast. There are two methods through which you can cast Sky Go on your TV using Chromecast. One method is using Screen Mirror Sky Go using a Smartphone. The second method is using Chrome from PC. Mar 09, 2020 I currently have Sky Q, and want to mirror it onto the TV in the bedroom without getting a Magic Eye or another box. Now I know Apple have stopped screen mirroring with the likes of Apple TV and iPhones/iPads etc However I have read that the latest update on Chromecast allows you to screen mirror Sky Go from your phone to the tv. The creators of Gomorrah go global with this ambitious series that follows an international cocaine shipment. Mexican narco-terrorists, corrupt police officers, Italian mobsters and a white-collar American family all intertwine in a gripping tale that illustrates how insidious and far-reaching the illegal narcotics trade really is – and how.

Whatever you chose to play should now be on the big screen!

To get Sky Go on your big screen via Chromecast support, you'll need to open the latest Sky Go app on your iPad or iPhone and make sure you have a Chromecast which is Generation 3 or Ultra.

At the top right of the app, you'll see the Chromecast icon which looks like a little TV. Select the icon. If you aren't already, you'll be prompted to connect to your Chromecast. Once connected, choose the TV show or movie you want to watch, press play and you should see Sky Go on your big screen!

You’re paying for your Sky subscription every month. So, you decide you want to watch a blockbuster on your iPad while you’re outside the UK. You settle down and fire up your Sky Go app, but instead of the latest from Hollywood all you get is a message telling you you’re not allowed to access Sky while you’re abroad.

In this 10 minute guide we’ll show you how to unblock Sky’s streaming service Sky Go, no matter where you might be in the world.

Don't have time to read the article?

Here's a super quick summary of what you need to do to get your favourite streaming service working from abroad.

Register with a VPN service that will make it look like you are connecting from the UK. Not all work with UK streaming services but we have tested most and recommend one of the following:
Surfshark (click to see price)
NordVPN (click to see price)
ExpressVPN (click to see price)
Download the app for the VPN of your choice, login and use it to switch your 'Internet country' to the UK.
Done! You can now watch UK TV channels and use your streaming services from anywhere in the world. You can also use the VPN to, for example, access more Netflix regions, unlock Amazon Prime Video content and watch many local streaming services.

Sky Go

Sky Go is your way of watching Sky when you’re outside the house. Sky Go let’s you register two devices you can use to watch your favourite Sky channels and movies, but to stream on both at the same time you have to subscribe to Sky Go Extra. You register on the Sky Go website or in the app and away you go. They offer a dedicated mobile and iPad/Android tablet app (Apple | Google Play), or you can use the desktop app on your Mac or PC.

Everything from your Sky subscription is available here, so you can catch up on the shows you’ve missed, if you’re a Sky Sports subscriber you’ll be able to watch your team live, and if you’ve got the film channels all that content is yours.

It’s also possible to download shows and films, but only if you have a Sky Go Extra subscription that costs a little more each month. With the Sky Go Extra subscription you also get access to the Xbox and Playstation apps, which are not available otherwise.

Why can’t I watch Sky Go from abroad?

The short answer is geo-blocking. TV broadcasters are licensed by geography. Your UK Sky subscription is available in the UK, but when you’re abroad it’s not valid - unless you have a VPN.

With a VPN it is possible to watch Sky Go no matter which country you find yourself in. With your iPad on a holiday in Spain? A work trip to Germany? Even an exchange trip to Japan? It’s still possible to get the latest from Sky. And in this article, we will show you how to do it.

What is a VPN?

A Virtual Private Network or VPN is a way for you to increase your privacy when using the internet. With a VPN app working in the background while you’re surfing you can mask your location from the web. Or, you can use it to change your location so that Sky Go thinks you’re still in the UK.

There are lots of VPN providers available. If you use a reputable service, you can hide your computer from the web and increase your digital safety. A VPN acts as a gateway between you and the world, protecting your information and hiding your location. So you can watch Sky Go while relaxing in your hotel room.

Out of the country? Use a VPN and watch Sky Go

If you subscribe to a VPN service and download their app, you can use it to alter your internet location. So, when you’re ready to catch up with Sky Atlantic, you can.

VPN providers operate servers in different countries. This lets you select a server in the country of your choice. So, if you’re abroad and want to watch your team in the derby, use your VPN app to select a server in the UK and Sky Go thinks you’re still in the country.

Normally, when using the internet your device talks directly to the service you’re using. So, Sky Go knows exactly where you are. VPN providers use servers across the globe to provide you the opportunity to decide on the location you need.

A VPN provides a detour between your device and the Sky Go server (or any other service you choose). Sky Go sees the VPN is in the UK and thinks you are too.

Step-by-step: how to watch Sky Go abroad

1. Download the Sky Go app to your mobile device or computer

Click the link: Sky Go or go to an app store (Apple if you have an iPhone or iPad | Google Play if you have an Android device) and download.

Once the app’s installed, log in with your Sky account. If you haven’t already, you will need to register the devices you use. Sky allows up to 2 devices, although you can change which devices are registered.

2. Sign up for a VPN subscription

Search for VPN in Google and you’ll be bombarded with results and most of them do not work well with UK streaming services. Fortunately, we’ve tested lots of VPN providers so that you don’t have to. We know which ones work with the UK broadcasters, which have the most reliable service and who has decent customer support.

Stream Sky Go To Smart Tv

The best services offer different lengths of subscription. So, if you only want to use it while you’re away you can. Or you can keep a VPN when you get back home and use it to access many of the world’s best channels from your own sofa.

Our investigations have found that these three providers are the best:

Surfshark
Surfshark is an excellent choice, with subscriptions from just £2 a month. The app is easy to navigate and their customer service is friendly and useful. Surfshark works with Sky Go and other national broadcasters and you can also use it to unblock more Netflix regions.
A feature that sets Surfshark apart is the fact that they allow unlimited simultaneous connections. So, you can be watching Hollywood’s finest while all the kids are doing their own thing.

NordVPN is a popular choice. Their speeds are excellent and the customer service is great. They offer a variety of subscription lengths so you can choose the option that suits you best.
NordVPN works very reliably with Sky Go and the other UK broadcasters. With NordVPN there is also the possibility to access other more 'exotic' streaming services such as ABC or Eleven Sports. NordVPN has a limit of 6 simultaneous connections.

ExpressVPN is slightly more expensive than the others but this is because they have more server locations all over the world. This means you can access streaming services from all corners of the globe and the reason it’s considered the premium service by some.
They offer excellent speed, and solid reliability with first-class customer support. ExpressVPN gives you up to 5 simultaneous connections.

Which one to choose?

We think, If you’re mainly looking for UK streaming, Surfshark can’t be beat. They are the cheapest and allow as many simultaneous devices as you want.
But, all three of the recommended services offer 30-day money-back guarantees. Which means, you can try out whichever you wish without risk and decide for yourself which one suits your needs.

3. Set up the VPN on your devices

Once you’ve signed up for a VPN, download and install the app on your electronics.

The apps for our recommended VPN’s are easy to use.

Get the app from their website or an app store.
Use your registered email and password to log in.
Start the app and you’ll find a list of servers available for you to use. Choose one in the UK.
The internet now thinks you’re in the UK, no matter where you are.

Sky Go is yours to command! It’s time to settle down with Sky Cinema.

(And, once you’ve finished, check out all the other broadcasters from all corners of the globe thanks to your new VPN)

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use the VPN to unblock other streaming services?

Absolutely! A VPN allows you to stream from any country with a server in it.

With Surfshark it costs from £2 a month to stream Sky Go and:

Channel 4, ITV hub, Channel 5, BBC iPlayer, over 15 Netflix regions (including the UK), Hulu, Disney+, Amazon Prime Video, HBO, Hotstar and many, many more.

Can I access Sky Go without a Sky subscription?

No, unfortunately as with all things Sky you need to be subscribed. But if you don’t have a Sky subscription you can always check out Now TV to access Sky for a limited time.

Is watching Sky Go using a VPN illegal?

No it is not illegal. But it is against Sky’s terms and conditions so if you use a VPN it is at your own risk.

Can I use a free VPN with Sky Go?

Possibly, but our research hasn’t found one that lives up to our criteria:

Offers consistently fast, reliable service
Allows you to unblock all the major channels
Not a security risk. – Free services have a history of selling your information (they have to make money somehow right?)
Have reliable customer service

But, if you come across a free VPN service that does these things, please let us know and we’ll add it to our list.
