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.
Netflix and Amazon apps on TV's are a godsend and Sky Go would top them massively!!! If you go to a Microsoft Store in the US and ask for the best phone they sell, they'll produce a Samsung S8/S8+ with Microsoft apps on it. Gother Posts: 12,753. Hi Just wondering if anyone know if you can put the Sky Go App on a new Samsung Smart TV? Its a samsung ue32n5300. Any help would be appreciated. There is no option on the TV that i can see in the apps.
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:
- 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
Free Sky TV streaming app
Sky Go is a free streaming app for the Sky TV network. You can safely watch any of the free-to-air channels, such as Channel 4 and ITV. If you have a premium subscription, the app lets you manage your favorite shows and sports events.
Is Sky Go available on Android?
The Sky Go app is compatible with Android devices running the operating system Android 5.0 and higher. You can catch the top shows or view highlights on sports events on your smartphone or tablet. There are over a hundred channels to stream, depending on your Sky TV membership.
How many devices can use Sky Go?
Sky UK lets you connect up to six devices to the Go app. It can be any platform mixture, such as a Smart TV, Android, iOS device, and computer, as long as you don’t exceed the indicated amount. If you already have six devices connected, you’ll need to remove one before you can add your Android tablet or phone.
How do I get subtitles on Sky Go Android?
If you prefer to read the audio as text, you can turn on subtitles. This feature is also handy if the show is in a different language.
Here’s how to turn on Sky Go subtitles on your Android device:
- Open the settings for the show
- Select “Subtitles'
- Choose your preferred language
- To turn them off, head back in and select “None”
Can I stream Sky Go to TV?
You can find Sky Go on many Smart TVs today as a separate application. However, the Android app doesn’t currently have the feature to cast to your television. You’ll need to keep an eye out for updates in case this changes.
Our take
Sky Go is the perfect application for watching your favorite shows and sports on your mobile device. It’s similar to Netflix, YouTube, and Showmax, which deliver their exclusive content based on your subscription or membership.
