Acessing BT sport
 
Looking to watch BT sport, and I want to watch it on my TV, but from what I can see I can only watch it if I have an IPhone I do but can't get the picture to TV, Android own nothing with Android software, windows 10 which I don't want, and that seems to be all my options, there's no app for it on xbox live?

May be of no use to you but if your mobile is with ee you can get it free for 6 months txt sport to 150 i think,

I then use that log in to access the app on my laptop and connect to tv with HDMi cable

Who's your broadband provider jay? Sport is free if you're with BT
Do you have a sky box?
can You not mirror iPhone to TV using AirPlay ?

dpb 01 November 2016 03:10 PM

ossett2k2 01 November 2016 03:11 PM

Yup good for Motorsport,motogp,WRC etc :)

jaygsi 03 November 2016 09:40 PM

I'm with BT but you only get sky sports one free, which is fine but trying to find ways to watch on TV, i have an Iphone so USB cable won't work with that. At moment I've tried laptop then using HDMI cable to TV.

But its abit messy setup. I don't have a sky box, but looking to buy new freeview box. Don't you need Apple TV to use air play?

Well maybe you're right ,i not the ultimate "fan".

Had bt for last ten years and didn't once bother with the sport bit.

Switched to plusnet

On Android just Google Modbro, Every sport channel you need is on there

jaygsi 05 November 2016 07:04 PM

Thanks but I don't own an android device.

Sorry misunderstood your post.

Get a chromecast for your iphone and then beam it to the tv?

Or just get a cheapo android box

Cheers for info, might opt for cheap android box.

I've managed to use my xbox to watch BT sport on explorer not perfect but will do for now.

I'm hacked off there is no BT Sport app on the Xbone as there is in Windows 10 store and the Xbone is supposed to be Windows 10 as well. I can't be arsed to plug my laptop in via hdmi I just want it on the Xbone.

I had thought about trying it via the web browser but not got round to it. What's the quality like?

I have BT sport via a broadband

and only standard Freeview TV

I have the same problem, seems to only be available via an App on a "device"

or HDMI from the "device" to the TV - less than ideal

I bought an Amazon Firestick - not really for BT sport, but looked into getting the BT App onto it

it seemed possible and I think a got 80% there, various hacks into the hidden file system / OS updates etc

but I sort of gave up tbh - I don't watch much stuff on BT Sport - just Arsenal games

so connect a laptop via HDMI

jaygsi 11 November 2016 12:16 AM

Its not to bad to be fair, its a pain having to log in and go though to tv channels then enlarge picture, but i have a large tv screen and picture comes up well. Still a faff though, alot easier with sky sports.

Live BT sports via android box/kodi sucks, always buffers, quality at best will be 720p, unless you pay a sub to an iptv service. Even then i'm not convinced it would be reliable.

dpb 14 November 2016 12:55 AM

Jack will know. :)

bioforger 14 November 2016 11:12 AM

He knows very little.

JackClark 14 November 2016 11:14 AM

About BT Sport, I know nothing, don't watch anything on it and refuse to pay more than my licence fee for television. Anyone that does is a mug.

Justme103 14 November 2016 09:41 PM

On an Android box the best for any sports is Modbro, Kodi is rubbish compared to that

Amazon prime is a guilty pleasure, I don't watch the TV stuff, but the ability to order something at 3pm on Friday and get by 12 Saturday is pretty good

And when you need a dry wall stud finder you really need it

dpb 14 November 2016 10:46 PM

Saw this on tv earlier , you can order yourself a surprise every month .

because how could your life on earth be any less meaningless

I don't watch any live tv or use iplayer anymore, so wonderfully licence free :D

joz8968 15 November 2016 12:56 PM

Are you able to watch BT Sports in a web browser tab (in addition to the actual app) on your iPhone? Yes/no?


If yes, read on...

Install the "Tubio" streaming app on your iPhone. Then you can cast ANY webpage to a smart Wi-Fi TV that has a DLNA media renderer/server app installed (it can also cast any videos or pictures on your phone, too).

All you have to do is open your TV's own DLNA app on the TV. Then open Tubio on the phone and choose the same DLNA by clicking on the 'Select TV' icon (extreme bottom-right). Then, using Tubio's own web search facility, go to the BT Sports webpage, click the channel you want (press 'play/start' or whatever, as necessary) and hey presto, the stream should appear on the telly in fullsize.


* Tubio is awesome. I've just installed it on my 5s and am currently beaming (tons'o'porn LOL :D) to my projector, via an Android box's 'eHomeMediaCenter' DLNA app. :luxhello: :cool:

dpb 15 November 2016 02:29 PM

looks very much like Panasonic tv remote app

which works ok for roughly 50% the time , drives crazy

you cant use iPhone as media server . Presumably cos they want you buy apple tv :rolleyes:
