Re: Sky app on smart tvNo the Sky Go app can NOT be downloaded to any Smart TV.
Unfortunately, Sky is yet to add any kind of casting function to the Sky Go app – as you can do with other streaming services like Netflix or Amazon – and this means there's no way to shift the app's mobile content from your phone or tablet to a TV. A lack of a Sky Go app on smart TVs doesn't help the situation either.
