Streaming Sky Go content via Chromecast

Since new apps and PC applications for Sky Go were released in 2018, it is no longer possible to stream content to TVs via Chromecast.

1. Sky wants to know exactly which devices are used for streaming and has therefore banned the use of some devices.
2. It is also no longer possible to use Sky Go via the browser. At the moment, this service is only available via apps for Windows, Android and iOS.
3. Google also points out that Silverlight content is not supported by the Chromecast, this content also includes Sky Go.
4. Alternatively, there are various detours with which you can stream Sky Go on your TV. Here, for example, Google Cast for Chrome is used. Note, however, that with this method very often problems with the sound occur. Außerdem ist es für gewöhnlich nicht mehr möglich, die Inhalte im Vollbild anzusehen.
5. Möchten Sie Sky Go ohne Probleme verwenden, müssen Sie auf die von Sky bereitgestellten Apps zurückgreifen.
