Posted on  by 



Broadcaster Sky has confirmed two new streaming video apps for PS4 and one for PS3.

PS4 is my main media device and I use them pretty much daily. With HDMI control enabled it integrates well with my setup, and the apps actually get updated unlike the ones on my TV. The only time I use my phone for watching videos would be very occasionally when in bed or out and about. New Sky Go app testing for Android, PS3, and PS4 by Peter Chubb October 17, 2014, 08:01 1 Comment Sky users really do enjoy being able to watch TV on the go via their mobile devices, although we.

Sony’s latest console will this summer receive non-contract sports, movies and entertainment streaming service Now TV as well as Sky Go, which allows subscribers to access much of their TV content without the need for a satellite receiver.

Sky Go will also be arriving on PS3 for the first time (Now TV is already available).

Now TV has been a great addition to the PS3 entertainment portfolio, so bringing it to the new PS4 is going to delight all users of the newest, most powerful member of the PlayStation family,” SCE UK VP and MD Fergal Gara said.

Sky Go joining both PlayStation platforms further enhances our credentials as the ultimate gaming and entertainment package.”

Sky’s TV brand director Luke Bradley-Jones added: More and more consumers are demanding easy access to a greater choice of high-quality entertainment over internet-connected devices. Sky is committed to helping customers access our great content, whenever and wherever they want. This deal is yet another example of that.

The agreement with Sony is great news for millions of Sky TV customers who can look forward to using Sky Go on their PlayStation 3 or PS4 for the first time.”

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.

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
