It appears that a recent update of IOS or the Netflix app has enabled airplay mirroring of content while connected to a VPN (previously this was not always possible.) This guide shows you how to do this.
1) Ensure that you have the latest version of IOS (10.2.1 or higher) & Netflix app (9.6.0 or higher) installed on your device, and that your Apple TV is powered on.
Sky Go Airplay To Apple Tv Plus
- I currently have Sky Q, and want to mirror it onto the TV in the bedroom without getting a Magic Eye or another box. Now I know Apple have stopped screen mirroring with the likes of Apple TV and iPhones/iPads etc However I have read that the latest update on Chromecast allows you to screen mirror Sky Go from your phone to the tv.
- Open the Sky Go app and tap the casting icon (it looks like a TV) Watch Sky Go on your Chromecast; Sky Go is compatible with the following casting services: Airplay; Chromecast; Apple TV; Sky Go on Smart TV Using an XBOX. Are you an XBOX user? Well, I didn’t forget about you. Here is what you’ll need: Sky Go Extra subscription.
2) Connect to the VPN (USA for US Netflix) on your iPhone or iPad, launch the Netflix app, and start playing the content.
3) Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to reveal the airplay menu.
4) Select ‘AirPlay Mirroring’
5) Select your Apple TV
6) Swipe down from the top of the screen.
The content should now be on your Apple TV. You may need to press the play icon to resume playing.
Note, during testing , this worked first time on ATV2, but we had to try a few times before it would work on ATV4.
Good luck. Unfortunately, we cannot offer support for this, as both the Netflix App and Apple Airplay are not within our control, so please do not raise a ticket if it does not work for you. However, you may want to utilise our forums to share tips about airplay.
Sky Go and HDMI cables aren’t the easiest things to use together for various reasons. Here’s a workaround to make things a bit simpler for anyone wishing to watch Sky Go.
Sky Go is a great way to enjoy Sky channels on your TV, laptop, iPhone, iPad, Android tablet or phone.
Unfortunately, the service doesn’t allow you to use an HDMI cable directly, but there are ways to work around this issue.
Some Smart TVs also do not currently support the Sky Go app which means you might be stuck watching it on a smaller screen.
How to watch Sky Go on your phone
If you’re off on holiday or have a lot of travels planned and you’re a Sky subscriber, why not download the Sky Go app on your laptop or phone?
With this installed, you need to log in with your Sky ID and password. You should have set this up when you first joined Sky. With that done, you’re free to browse and enjoy Sky programming on your mobile device or laptop.
You can also download shows and movies to watch while you’re offline if you’re a Sky Go Extra customer, which is particularly useful when you’re heading abroad on holiday to avoid data charges.

Why won’t my HDMI cable work with Sky Go?
Sky TV hasn’t cited in an official statement why an HDMI cable won’t work when trying to watch Sky Go on your TV.
The reason for HDMI and Sky Go being incompatible is most likely a way of protecting the Sky Go content. Sky may be concerned with what customers could do with the Sky Go content. For all they know, customers could be sharing content with other people who aren’t paying customers by recording shows.
We understand this can be frustrating when you pay for the service and then you can’t use it the way you want to. Many Sky Go customers wish to watch the service on a bigger screen and an HDMI cable enables just that.
