My youngest is getting a full hd Samsung smart TV for his room this crimbo, and wants sky as his brother has it in his room. Is there a way of getting sky go on his smart TV?, as don't want cables running all over the place (or extra cost of another box and multi room). He has an ipad, iphone and a Samsung galaxy tab, and the TV we have got him is smart phone enabled for controlling it, so could he also get sky go on the galaxy/ipad and watch it on his TV through that?

Please give any answers as if you are speaking to a computer illiterate idiot! Thanks.

"It's less likely that you'll get access to Sky's streaming services, Now TV and Sky Go. LG had an exclusive deal for Now TV, but Sky doesn't really allow Sky Go to be accessed on TVs or other set-top-boxes. You need a connected Sky receiver to use its services."

back when i had my iPhone 4 and tv out, they had nailed prohibiting HDMI OUT, even tried jailbreaking it to use a screen mirroring app

As far as I know you can't connect a tablet or a smart phone either by a cable or screen mirroring to a smart TV in order to watch Sky Go. You can however connect a laptop with an HDMI out socket using an HDMI to HDMI cable.

His brother has ps4, he has Xbox and Xbox one. We did sort out sky go app on his Xbox (360) a couple of years ago, but then he started having problems with his Xbox live account. And shortly after that got a thousand year account ban for allegedly creating counterfeit in game data, or some crap! He was ten at the time!!!

Save your money and put kodi on the Tv. Can he not have Xbox live then?

Yes he's got Xbox live, just had to set up a new account.

Thanks, just googled that and apparently it has been available for about a week or so, although need to subscribe £5.99 a month for sky go extra, although what I read was sky multi screen customers get it free, as we have multi room that should be us.
