Sky Stream on Smart PC Monitor?

TheLegend — Sun, 10 Nov 2024 10:08:18 GMT

Hi, my Sky satelite contract will up next year and I am think of getting Sky Stream. But as a visually impaired person, I have found difficult watching TV downstairs on my sofa and I want to move my telly watching upstairs. However I am using my PC mainly watch TV and films on streaming platforms like Amazon prime, BBC iPlayer, Disney Plus, etc. I was wondering if I could use a Sky Stream puck on a smart PC monitor or do I have to buy a smart TV?

Note that the monitor must be capable of HDCP at the appropriate level for the resolution of the content being viewed.

If you are already viewing commercial apps from a PC, the monitor probably is compliant.
