    As above, Sky want you to use the app to view things on your tablet or phone. They have actively blocked the devices from outputting the app on their video for that reason. If you want to view their stuff on TVs, you need a Sky box, or a Now TV box. Also note that you can get an RF output from a Sky box if you can get the cable to another TV...

    As above, the Sky go app won't mirror cast either or run via any cable/adaptor. If it's any consolation, ITV player does though.
