    Never used this service before, and i know a lot moan about it, but was wondering if anyone knows if it's possible to mirror / cast it from phone to TV?

    The only laptop / PC i have is work related, and unfortunately the company are hot on downloading anything non work related

    Muchos gracias

    I’ve had no luck casting it/mirroring from an iPhone (could be operator trouble though!).I usually end up just watching it on an iPad.

    Not sure it will, I can’t even get it to deliver sound over the HDMI from my Mac book to the telly, so it’s a laptop for me. Sat in some bar with Gaffer in the Dam obvs…being law abiding citizens etc

    Answer is it depends what kit you have. Either the right software will be needed on the telly or Chromecast or Apple TV devices or suchlike plugged in.

    Your telly might have a web browser, especially if it’s one with google software on it that’s probably your best bet. If you can get as far as logging in to the itfc website on the TV then you might fancy a punt that the video will play.

    I've never had luck trying it on a tv web browser, probably because a TV doesn't have java. You can send signal from a phone to the tv through hdmi. Your phone has to have the right resolution though. For instance I can't send anything less than 1920x1080 to my 4K tv. If the resolution on your phone is too low your tv may not pick it up.

    There is nothing to download on to a PC or laptop, you don't need an app like you do on a phone. Go to ITFC website and you can connect to iFollow from there. No reason you can't hook your work device up to your tv

    Get yourself an Android tv box (from about £30) side load the EFL app and off you go, simples!!
    I watch everything on my Android tv box, love it and been using them for about 8 years.

    I used the web browser on my LG TV for a couple of matches and it was fine.Last time I tried it just buffered and buffered (yes,cleared the cache etc but no luck).I’ve had a laptop connected via HDMI cable but the quality was just….meh…. I’ve now settled on small screen iPad compromise,which at least runs smoothly.
