You can't connect your iPhone to the TV as a Bluetooth device - it won't work like that. 

Assuming you've setup AirPlay correctly on the Glass TV, open up the music app on your phone, start playing the music you want and then press the AirPlay icon:

at the bottom of the phone screen and select the Glass TVs name from the list that pops up.

Also, on iPhone, check in Settings > General > AirPlay & Continuity  that Automatically AirPlay is set to 'automatic' and not 'never' or 'ask'.

If you follow the AirPlay instructions on screen, you should be able to cast content from your iPhone to the TV easily. Suggest you go through the setup instructions again.

I've done that. I've also turned off both the phone and the TV. On my phone it's saying the TV is not responding and there is no option for the input. I imagine under input I should be able to select "airplay"

Try a power cycle of the Sky Glass first off. Secondly, I assume both devices are connected to the same network?

All connected to the same network. Everything has been turned off and back on again. I've followed the instructions on airplay to set up. 

All I get is a "no response" message on the iphone. It's as if the TV isn't sending anything out to connect.

 

If I search for my phone on add a bluetooth device, it just says not supported.

Finally. Got it. Thanks. I wasn't pressing the airplay button (which isn't that obvious) in itunes.
