Watching sky Q on VR?

Scooter42 — Wed, 17 Feb 2021 15:24:54 GMT

Hi, I have an Oculus quest 2 and wish to watch my sky q content on the equivalent of a 100 inch TV! (same as I do Netflix or amazon prime!)
But there is NO sky go app for VR, Aaaanndd the SKY VR APP is ONLY for sports!!
I have tried running sky go on my pc, and using virtual desktop to stream to my headset, but just get a black screen (BLOCKED!!)
CAN SOMEONE HAVE A WORD WITH SKY TO ADD A VR SKY GO APP!!????

Tried it, you CAN'T stream the app, it won't let you, all you get is a black screen and the sound! 😭

Depending on the hardware of your computer there is a Android emulator called Nox player install it when installed go to its settings and look for network in there it will say bridge and install driver do this reboot Nox then open play store download the sky go app and you can watch it from there again on desktop or big screen or apps like that

Thanks for that info, unfortunately I've left sky for virgin, but might still use that info!

This would be because of DRM (Digital Rights Management) used on Sky Q on PC which prevents screen capture..
