If you prefer not to use an app or want to watch Sky Go on a desktop PC or Mac or even a laptop, Sky Go can also be viewed via their website. Just go online to their site, log into your account and then you can use the interface to select the channel you wish to stream live. Feb 10, 2021 Why on earth would Sky prevent this? Maybe I'm just being Cynical. My Box signal is poor (I have informed Sky - no response) and thought that using Sky go from my Laptop HDMI port to TV, would tide us over - but it doesn't work! I have checked the connection is correct (external screen) and I have a fast connection (70Mbps). The app in question is a SKY GO ITA, beside the root check there is also a hdmi check which doesn't allow me to watch contents through an external monitor. I have a rooted tv box with Nougat, I was ablet to mask the rooted device thanks to Magisk but not the hdmi check. Any solution or workaround will be welcome.
NLIs Sky go compatible with Android TV Boxes? I know they're compatible with tablets and smartphones but I'm looking at buying something like this?

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.

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.

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.
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:
Can You Play Sky Go From Laptop To Tv
- 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
