BT Sport App Streaming
Use my old mans BT account to watch on the PC or iPad but with Champs League and more Premiership games this season I am wanting to stream to the TV in the lounge.
Have a PS4 but no app. Seems to be lots of conflicting info online about whether it can be done with Apple TV, Chromecast or Amazon Fire TV. So is anyone here running it on these devices? Thanks Simon |
Do you know if he agreed to pay the extra fiver for the BT Euro channel if not he'll have BT Lite and you wont be able to get it, sorry I cant help on the connection.
I can watch via the app which is always in HD which is nice, not that i've tried it but iof the TV has NFC cant you "throw" it from the phone as long as that is NFC as well ? |
Not sure tbh but I am probably moving my broadband & phone from Sky to BT now as can finally get fibre in our cul de sac and some cracking cash back deals for BT at the mo.
|
Why can't the PC in the lounge simply stream it from the Internet
|
Can you not just log in with the PC in the lounge?
Chromecast will work to stream from PC to TV |
Typo. PC = TV. Managed to blag a free Apple TV off my brother so will try that but moving to BT Infinity and opted for their basic TV box. Not sure it streams in HD though like the app does.
|
If the HD channels are included in the package then yes the basic box will stream in HD.

yes I had the same problem - had various input devices to the TV (XBOX / WII) that had WWW access but none seemed to be able to run the BT Sport App |
I am pretty sure my Dad isnt paying extra over his BB and phone contract for BT Sports Europe and I was able to use the app to watch the United match last night.

I did the same as you Simon and ditched Sky and went for BT Infinity as soon as it became available in our area, it was like going from a pit pony to an Sti !
With regards to the extra fiver, it was more of an opt out than in situation, got an e-mail from BT in July advising they would raise the the price by £5 if we didn't want that we could retain the usual free channels by opting out and taking what they've called BT Lite, maybe your dad wasn't aware, they'll probably bill him an extra £5 per month from now on, if they don't then happy days :) |
Is your Dad an BT infinity customer? As now days if you want the sports package included in the package it means going on to infinity and signing a new 18 month contract.
|
Whack an HDMI cable from your laptop to TV. Job done mate
|
Get the Amazon fire stick,install Kodi or install Kodi onto your pc and link up to your TV. All TV is free. If sky and BT keep putting their prices up then that's what we will be doing.

Btw has anyone seen any of the games BT Sport broadcast in Ultra HD? Guessing very few have access to it so far and hard for pubs etc to implement as requires Infinity.

That's all well and good, but I find Kodi a bit hit and miss with regards to the sports channels
Our kid uses android and also has no problems. Use the config wizard,they're always improving and it's much better than when it was called XBMC. |

The only snag is that you need a minimum sync speed of 44meg. If you're on Infinity 1 you'll need to upgrade to Infinity 1.5. |
