Hi all.
Has anyone found a great way to watch Sky Go on a big screen?
At the moment, I am using my wife's work laptop (an old Samsung R580), to plug into our living-room TV for occasional use. The picture is a bit glitchy and the CPU really ramps up.
As the laptop is set up just the way my wife likes it, I am not allowed to fiddle with anything to try and improve things.
It then dawned on me that I had a Acer Revo Aspire R3610 lying around, doing nothing. I reinstalled Windows 10 from scratch and stripped it of every single program and device I could think of and set it to maximum performance.
Unfortunately, the TV was borderline unwatchable (not surprising, given that the Aspire is less powerful than the laptop).
Given that it is the Windows version of the app that seems to be so CPU inefficient, I had a go with Android x86 on the Aspire. Everything went brilliantly until I was told that the Android Sky Go app would not allow me to watch anything on a rooted device.
I am just wondering what other options there are.
Is it possible to run Sky Go from an android tablet, plugged into a TV via HDMI?
