AirPlay Not Working on Sky Go? Try These Fixes
The AirPlay feature may not work on Sky Go for several reasons. Maybe both devices are not connected to the same WiFi, the TV firmware is outdated, or the AirPlay settings are turned off. To rectify these problems, connect both devices to an identical WiFi, update the Sky Go app and AirPlay-compatible device, and ensure AirPlay is enabled on your device.
If you can’t stream Sky Go using AirPlay, there is an alternative. Get the Lightning Digital AV adapter and connect the cable end to your iPhone. Take the HDMI cable and connect one end to the adapter and the other to an AirPlay-compatible TV. Switch the input settings on your AirPlay-compatible TV to preview your iPhone screen. Play any video on your iPhone and project it to your TV using the HDMI cable.
