Unable to cast to my to from my iPhone. Sky’s box is not detected

I'm unable to cast YouTube and other apps to my tv as my SkyQ box is not detectable.

You cannot cast to Sky hardware, be it a Q box, Stream puck or Glass TV. 

You need a device with Airplay or Chromecast capability such as a Firestick or Apple TV box.

Hi @Sharon888   

 

In these situations it is always best to make a fresh start by power rebooting your broadband router, your phone and the Sky Q box.

 

Are you sure that everything is on the same local network. Is the YouTube App on your phone the latest. Again for completeness I would delete and re-install the App.

 

If it still doesn't work, what is the make and model of your phone.

Hi @Padam_Padam   You can with YouTube, it doesn't actuall cast but opens YouTube on the Sky Q box and plays the YouTube video.

Correct. Only with YouTube. Both devices need to be on the same broadband network for it to work.

Hi @Padam_Padam   Correct, which is why I mentioned it on my reply to @Sharon888
