SKYGO on tv using HDMI cable from MacBook (when on holiday)

[Ladytopaz]

Is it possible to use my skygo app on my MacBook onto a tv using an HDMI cable (eg when on holiday)??

There is a good chance that Sky will have blocked HDMI out as they usually only allow the devices own screen for output, though I know that Windows laptops sometimes get around this

I believe that should work for an OSX laptop as it does for a Windows unit.  If you have such a television set at home, you could try it now.

I wanted a definite droplet really because I wanted to show it on my TV in our holiday home in Greece using a VPN to fool Sky with a UK IP address - as we do currently with our IPads. I do get miffed because we pay a huge amount to Sky monthly and spend 5 months in our holiday home in Greece but meet these issues.  Up until Brexit we could watch SkyGo on our Play Station. Now we cannot as do not have a route from BB (have a receiver) or a way to load a VPN on the PS.  All possible if Android but we have Apple products.

Following Terms & Conditions is so hard 😞

Announcing you are using a VPN to circumvent the T&Cs is not a good idea on Sky's official forums 😞
