    A couple of questions regarding the above
    1 can you watch the above on a smart TV.
    2 tried download SAFSEE but on Google play store say the app is already installed but can't find it in list of apps to open
    3 also tried to open url on TV browser but couldn't get to the Web page I normally use for watching the games.
    I used to watch the game on TV via laptop and a hdmi cable but now have a chromebook and doesn't have an hdmi cable.

    Could you not just use Chromecast?

    I use the app on my tablet and cast to my TV via a chromecast. Works a treat, it was only about 30 quid for the chromecast.

    I've wanted a 'dodgy box/stick' for years and done now't about it, 'cos everybody seems to have one except me.

    A mate brought his spare stick (Firestick, I think) so that I could try it, but when I tried to watch the Pirates game it didn't work . . . . I couldn't log in, though it should have been automatic (it just kept saying something like 'bugger off').

    Anyway, he thinks that his subscription might have finished (stupid sod), and when he went to fix it the bloke had apparently disappeared from ebay !

    I haven't tried since, and neither has he 'cos his other stick works and he's been watching the games (selfish twat :cheesy:), but when he visited to lend me the stick I downloaded the app on my t.v. (apparently it's a smarter smart t.v. than his) so I shouldn't even need a stick :emoticon-0112-wonde

    I've got no idea about what I should do now, so I need someone to tell me . . . . help :emoticon-0142-happy

    I have the sky go app on a chromebook and I can cast to a tv with an original chromecast. Bt sport app also works. Also works from my phone.

    are you saying that the chromecast is built into your TV or did you have to buy a thingymabob to fit into your Hdmi socket?

    the chromecast device plugs into a spare hdmi socket on your tv. my chromecast is one of the original models, maybe 10 years old but it still worked fine so the latest models should work too.
    they way it works is that your device, i.e. phone laptop etc sends a message to the chromecast to essentially duplicate what you are doing, e.g. show bt sport on the tv once its ahowing on the tv then your phone or laptop stops showing bt and you can use it as normal.

    From what I have read, you plug it into your TV and cast whatever you are watching on your laptop to your TV
    Edit: sorry just seen you have loads of responses more informative than mine

    You can buy TV with chrome cast/Apple air play built in now, cost a bit extra initially but well worth it.

    Most newish smart TVs support "miracast", sometimes called WiFi Casting. So you can screen cast from a Windows laptop and android phones with no additional expense. But as far as I know, chromebooks don't support this. Google want you to to pay the extra for chromecast ....

    That's given me more than I had, and I know that I need to use vpn, but I don't know how to go about it :emoticon-0101-sadsm

    I'm clever at some things (really), but I'm TAF (thick as ****) as far as this is concerned :angel:
