Sky TV subscribers can stream Sky TV channels on AirPlay 2-enabled TV using the Sky Go app. So, you don’t need to worry even though Sky Go is incompatible with your TV. Since the application does not have built-in AirPlay support, you need to share its content using the AirPlay mirroring feature. By using the AirPlay option, you can stream live-stream Sky TV channels, TV shows, movies, news, documentaries, and more from the iPhone/iPad/Mac to Apple TV and AirPlay 2 compatible TVs.
Note: Those finding WiFi connectivity issues can rely on the Digital AV adapter to screen mirror Sky GO.
