so could run off pc connected to tvyes.
I have been using SkySport Now for a while with a mixture of trials, full payment and currently a discounted deal because I cancelled and they lured me back.
I cast from phone/tablet to the TV.
To be honest though I am thinking of switching up to the VodaTV option for an extra $18 just for the convenience factor.
I can't easily flick between two sports channels on the app and certainly can't flick from normal TV to sports without changing input etc.
Getting a bit sick of the occasional freeze/cut out via the app as well (very painful when watching cricket)
SSN is $39.99 a month and basic Sky with Sport added is $57.99 -

@crucial the PlayStation 4 app is ok not great, but works fine until the controller disconnects.
Easier fast forward rewinding, but I'm convinced the quality isn't as good as Chromecast
Yeah, I used my PS4 for a bit but the quality is pretty crap. I had Disney+ on there as I couldn't remember the password and it was particularly jarring going from streamers on my Apple TV to it, I just thought Disney had a dud app, then when I eventually added it I realised it was the PS4.
