Sky, the British broadcasting group, has published its latest quarterly results, and amidst the numbers and other typical data lies one interesting tidbit of information: the company recently struck a deal with Sony, and will be brining its Sky Go service to the PlayStation 4.
When you're new to Sky, you can access all channels that are available on Sky Go. Once your TV services are active, you'll only be able to view channels in line with your TV package. How to stop Sky Go buffering – Check your data. If your Sky Go experience is being ruined by constant buffering there are a few reasons as to why this could be. Firstly, check that data monitoring is turned off. You don’t want the app to be working hard on things it doesn’t need to.
Unfortunately, there aren’t too many additional details at this point. The information was included amidst talk of the company’s push towards connected TV services, and includes mention that NOW TV will also be coming to the Sony console.
Both Sky Go and NOW TV will be available to PS4 users some time this summer, but the financial report didn’t include what month that will be in. A separate announcement is likely incoming, and so we should hear more details in the near future.
A quick look at the Sky Community forums will show that Sky Go access on the PS4 has been requested by many users since the console’s launch. For other recent Sky news, check out our Sky Tag Portal. Excited? Drop your thoughts in the comments!

Some things are just made to be watched on a big screen. So, when it comes to Sky Go, there are times you want to ditch that laptop, tablet or smartphone and kick back in front of a TV. Here’s how to stream Sky Go on your TV.
Sky Go has been around for some time now and it’s gone through several iterations, including some confusing crossovers with the Sky Q app. The app’s main function is letting you watch your Sky package over the internet – a super useful feature when you’re away from home or just not in the same room as your Sky box.

How do I stream Sky Go to my TV?
Kicking things off on a bit of a downer, the simple answer is you can’t. Never fear, you can get Sky Go on a TV using a good ol’ cable.
Unfortunately, Sky is yet to add any kind of casting function to the Sky Go app – as you can do with other streaming services like Netflix or Amazon – and this means there’s no way to shift the app’s mobile content from your phone or tablet to a TV. A lack of a Sky Go app on smart TVs doesn’t help the situation either.
Instead, you’ll need to grab your laptop and download Sky Go if you haven’t already. The next step is to check what connections your laptop has and, fingers crossed, it has an HDMI port and you’ve got a handy HDMI cable lying around.
Other solutions include a VGA/DVI connection on some older machines or a more flexible Thunderbolt port, but HDMI is the simplest way of going about things. Here’s exactly how to do it:
- Open the Sky Go app on your laptop
- Find what you want to watch and go fullscreen
- Attach the HDMI cable to your laptop
- Plug the other end into a free HDMI port on the back of the TV
- Make sure you are on the correct HDMI input on the TV and you are all set
