Sky Sports via BTTV app on Firestick

[garry1147]

If subscribed to Big Sport is it possible to watch the Sky Sports Channels via the BTTV app on Amazon Firestick?

I watch BT sport this way but am thinking of upgrading but I do not use the BTTV box

You need to download the NowTV app

Thanks. I have NOWTV on my LGsmart tv. Could I access it on that or would I have to download the app to Firestick?

The NowTV app isn’t available on any Amazon Fire device under normal circumstances.

You can search the web for instructions on how to add apps from the Google Play Store to an Amazon device, but they are making it more difficult if not impossible on their latest kit.

You could watch them via the LG TV app.

You can access NowTV via any device that has the app installed. Just use the same log in details that you used to log into the app on Youview 👌

Thanks. It is that simple!! Just wanted to make sure before I signed up

@garry1147 yep.. that simple.. if you're watching the footy though, get the HD Boost for 1080p @50fps... If you don't, it'll be a struggle to see the ball jerk across the screen. 

You also get 5.1 surround sound if you have the bits n bobs necessary

The NOW TV app on LG Smart TVs does not support 50fps.

@stereohaven that sucks..

[stereohaven]

Yep and it's the only version of the app as far as I'm aware that doesn't support 50fps.
