@snipey

Its more to do with the film studio than Sky or indeed any broadcaster.

Hi @snipey

Depending on what devices you own, there are a few ways to work around this

If you have a Chromecast you can usually cast to your TV. Same with a recent Sony or JVC TV with built in Chromecast

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

If you have a PC or laptop with an HDMI output you can plug that in to your TV by HDMI and that should work providing your device copes with the HDCP protection

I know it's messy but these are some options

Other than that - you should rent from your Sky box if you want to view from your box.

Sky customer since 1989.
Sky Q 2TB main box
LG CX6LA from 2020
