Hi @Jenny1808 

 

Unfortunately, rentals made on a device can't be sent to your Sky box

 

Usually with ordinary rentals - there are a few workarounds although I haven't tried them with the Premier Rentals. These do have extra copy protection built in, but you can try the following which usually work 

 

You can cast to your TV if you have a Chromecast or TV with built in Chromecast 

 

If you have a recent LG TV you can download the Skystore app on there

 

If you have a laptop or PC with HDMI output- you can plug that in to your TV

 

Hope that helps

For the film to be viewable via your Sky Q box it needed to be rented via the box itself as rentals can only be watched via the box if they were rented on it because unlike with Buy and Keep they can not be sent to a Sky box.
