Watching Sky on my smart TV

I have a sky contract using their Sky Puck. I also have a LG smart TV with the Sky App pre installed. Can I use my sky account to watch through the TV app. The purpose of this is to avoid having to keep switching to HDMI1 first each time I switch on the TV.

@Eltels1  You need a Stream puck for each TV you want to watch on, Sky Stream has no Smart TV app 

Like you I'm a customer here, Sky Employees are clearly identified as such.

No: I suspect that's the Sky Store app, which is for purchasing content rather than subscription viewing.
