Some things are just made to be watched on a big screen. So, when it comes to Sky Go, there are times you want to ditch that laptop, tablet or smartphone and kick back in front of a TV. Here’s how to stream Sky Go on your TV.
Sky Go has been around for some time now and it’s gone through several iterations, including some confusing crossovers with the Sky Q app. The app’s main function is letting you watch your Sky package over the internet – a super useful feature when you’re away from home or just not in the same room as your Sky box.

Sky Go App Auf Smart Tv Samsung Installieren
While being able to watch Sky on your Android or iOS device – from a Samsung Galaxy phone to an iPad – will be a marvel for some, sometimes it just isn’t good enough. The heart-pounding action scenes of Game of Thrones or Gangs of London on even the largest mobile device just won’t do.
We’ve put together this handy guide to show you just how to watch Sky Go on a TV.
Sky Go App Smart Tv Samsung Channel
In this video we show you how to download apps onto your Samsung TV. For this demonstration we used the model UN50NU7100. It will be a similar process for. Since the Sky Q Mini box does not do UHD, why don't they also make an app for smart tv platforms, as most of the TV's has the same if not better processing power then the Mini Box. Instead of box just use the APP, as all the box does is pull content from the main box and access its tuners which as App on the TV can also do. Netflix and Amazon apps on TV's are a godsend and Sky Go would top them massively!!! As Apple decides are already supported why did this not include TV OS, is it that much different and more difficult to do than iOS on iPhones & iPads??? Why not on a Smart TV Why not on Apple TV Why not through a dedicated Windows 10 App.

How do I stream Sky Go to my TV?
Kicking things off on a bit of a downer, the simple answer is you can’t. Never fear, you can get Sky Go on a TV using a good ol’ cable.
Con questa guida puoi usare Sky Go su un televisore e guardare i programmi del tuo abbonamento Sky su due TV differenti che possono trovarsi anche in abitazi. Unfortunately, Sky Go doesn’t allow you to use an HDMI cable to watch it on TV. However, the Sky Go app is downloadable for Android users, so if you have an Android TV you may be able to install the Android app and watch Sky Go content.
Unfortunately, Sky is yet to add any kind of casting function to the Sky Go app – as you can do with other streaming services like Netflix or Amazon – and this means there’s no way to shift the app’s mobile content from your phone or tablet to a TV. A lack of a Sky Go app on smart TVs doesn’t help the situation either.
Instead, you’ll need to grab your laptop and download Sky Go if you haven’t already. The next step is to check what connections your laptop has and, fingers crossed, it has an HDMI port and you’ve got a handy HDMI cable lying around.
Other solutions include a VGA/DVI connection on some older machines or a more flexible Thunderbolt port, but HDMI is the simplest way of going about things. Here’s exactly how to do it:
- Open the Sky Go app on your laptop
- Find what you want to watch and go fullscreen
- Attach the HDMI cable to your laptop
- Plug the other end into a free HDMI port on the back of the TV
- Make sure you are on the correct HDMI input on the TV and you are all set
