I have the full sports package at home but I won't be at home on Sunday. I want to watch football at my family's home. My family don't have Sky Sports where they live.

How can I watch the football at their house please?

You can download Sky Go on your phone, tablet or PC, you can stream live sports through that when you're logged into your sky account.

Thank you for answering I have set up Sky Go on my mobile. I am still stuck but am sure it's down to my misunderstanding.

My family have a Sky t.v and a Sky Q box like I have but they are not sports fanatics ; I am.

How can I watch the football on Sunday, at their place please?

You can't watch using their box if they don't have the subscription

your only option is to watch via a device that has SKY Go on it - if you have a laptop or xbox I think you can link those to a TV using HDMI otherwise you are probably limited to the devices screen

Oh dear. I may have to buy a one day pass? so that I can watch it on their t.v? I guess there's such a thing and hope it's not too expensive

not via SKY but possibly via Now TV if watching on a portable device is not good enough

Hi @Mask+36 a cheaper option would be this posted by @Mark-Br scroll down to Secondary Sky ID

https://helpforum.sky.com/t5/Online-Apps-Email/Need-help-with-your-Sky-iD/ba-p/3645384

I did this with my son who has a Sky ID as he pays for a Sky Simcard and nothing else

He can now watch Sky Go on his mobile phone and his XBOX S using his own Sky ID details

As fellow user @nigea99 mentioned, you're best bet is a laptop you can connect to the TV via HDMI
