Can I Stream Sky Go from iPhone to TV?
To make your viewing experience the best it could be, you can watch your favourite Sky Go channels on a bigger screen. Here is the ultimate guide to connecting your iPhone to your TV and watching Sky Go on it seamlessly.
Connecting Your iPhone to the TV through AV Adapter
To watch Sky Go on your TV using a smartphone, you will need an Apple Digital AV Adapter and an HDMI cable. It is possible by using this adapter and then linking it with the television set for all available channels to have high resolution displays. It therefore becomes some kind of portable digital decoder that works with iPhones.
Here’s how:
Plug in the Apple Digital AV Adapter into your iPhone.
Connect one end of the HDMI cable to the adapter and the other end to your TV.
Turn on your TV and choose HDMI input source.
Open Sky Go app on your iPhone; it will be displayed on television at this point as well.
Now you can view more content by accessing sky go app over iPhone on larger screen such as iPad or iPod touch.
Why Direct Streaming from Sky Go to TV Isn’t Possible
Unlike its counterparts, Sky Go doesn’t have direct streaming ability to televisions even if they are smart TVs. The service has been created for mobile use only with access from devices like PC, Macs, iOS/Android smartphones or tablets. This means that streaming cannot be done directly from phone to television unless extra hardware is used like AV adapter mentioned above.
Screen Sharing Sky Go to Your TV via Computer
The other way of watching sky go on television is through a computer. You may mirror what is being displayed in computer by connecting computer with tv using hdmi cable. This follows;
Download and install sky go app for pc onto machine.
Get an hdmi lead and connect computer/ laptop directly into tv (if it does not work try another source).
Switch computer/tv on then select hdmi 1/2/3 etc depending upon connector.
Now open sky go app on computer and tv will display what is currently showing on pc screen.
Through this method, sky go screen can be shared easily with your tv.
Broadcasting from iPhone to Sky Q
Sky Q users also have another alternative when it comes to streaming content from their iPhones. The Sky Q offers a facility for content streaming via Bluetooth and AirPlay. Below are the steps:
Switch on your Bluetooth/Airplay on the phone.
Go to Settings > Configure > My Music from your Sky Q box.
Choose which media you want to play on your iPhone, and it should show up on the Sky Q connected TV.
This is yet another way of accessing more information from ones’ iphone over a larger display unit.
Connecting iPhone to TV Using AirPlay
If you own an Apple TV or Smart TV that supports AirPlay, you can wirelessly mirror your iPhone’s screen. Ensure both your iPhone and TV are connected to the same Wi-Fi network. Here’s how:
