Hi @Brookie+54 I have found the following:-

You can watch National Theatre at Home on Sky Q by using the National Theatre at Home app or casting from your device:
National Theatre at Home app
Available on iOS, Android, Amazon Fire TV, and Roku TV. You can subscribe to National Theatre at Home for unlimited access or rent a single play.
Casting
You can cast from your device to your TV using Chromecast or Airplay with Apple devices. To cast YouTube videos to your Sky Q box, you can:
Open the YouTube app on your device
Select the Chromecast icon
Select your Sky Q box or Sky Glass
Select a video on your device to play on your TV

There's no National Theatre at Home app installed on Q or available for download to it.

As @Quoman7 indicates, you need to use another item of hardware which can host the app.

I'd say that's another Google AI fail, because there is no such app native to Q. There's a definite pattern of the Google results getting this particular nuance wrong: it appears to extrapolate the existence of an app on other platforms incorrectly (or it's just been taught from a poorly worded template ; )

Interestingly, using 'national theatre at home sky app' as a search term returns a rather different result: while AI assisted search will undoubtedly get better, it's definitely best regarded with a degree of suspicion at the moment.
