- Sky Go is a video streaming app that has taken the world by a storm. It allows users to stream programs on Sky TV on their devices. When you use Sky Go, you get access to on-demand programs. With Sky Go on Firestick, you get access to all types of content including TV shows, breaking news, sports events, movies, and more.
- 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. Alternatively, if you have a console, such as an Xbox or a PlayStation, download the Sky Go app and watch it on your TV through that way.
- Bear in mind, to watch Sky Go on a console you need to be on the Sky Go Extra subscription. To see what subscription plan you have, consider ringing the Sky helpline (0330 041 3000). Another tip that has led to some confusion is Sky Go is called 'TV from Sky' on console stores (both Xbox and Playstation).
- To watch Sky Go on a Smart TV you need to connect a laptop, PC, or console, to the TV's HDMI port and then run Sky Go on that device. Sky Go does not allow video output over mobile devices, and casting options are limited. Bear in mind, Sky Go is not yet compatible with Chromecast.
Sky Go and HDMI cables aren't the easiest things to use together for various reasons. Here's a workaround to make things a bit simpler for anyone wishing to watch Sky Go.
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.
Sky Go is a great way to enjoy Sky channels on your TV, laptop, iPhone, iPad, Android tablet or phone.
Unfortunately, the service doesn't allow you to use an HDMI cable directly, but there are ways to work around this issue.
Some Smart TVs also do not currently support the Sky Go app which means you might be stuck watching it on a smaller screen. Pandoc c#.
How to watch Sky Go on your phone
If you're off on holiday or have a lot of travels planned and you're a Sky subscriber, why not download the Sky Go app on your laptop or phone?
With this installed, you need to log in with your Sky ID and password. You should have set this up when you first joined Sky. With that done, you're free to browse and enjoy Sky programming on your mobile device or laptop.

Why won't my HDMI cable work with Sky Go?
Sky TV hasn't cited in an official statement why an HDMI cable won't work when trying to watch Sky Go on your TV.
The reason for HDMI and Sky Go being incompatible is most likely a way of protecting the Sky Go content. Sky may be concerned with what customers could do with the Sky Go content. For all they know, customers could be sharing content with other people who aren't paying customers by recording shows.
We understand this can be frustrating when you pay for the service and then you can't use it the way you want to. Many Sky Go customers wish to watch the service on a bigger screen and an HDMI cable enables just that.
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.
