    Got Sky go on my Tablet (thanks dad)and thought I could simply watch it on my TV via a HDMI cable from my Tablet to TV. Guy at Curries says not possible due to some legal issues. Anyone know or heard about this. Don't want to buy the HDMI connection if I can't watch Sky go.
    TIA

    You used to be able to but i believe sky have cottoned on and block the port somehow. you cant watch sky go directly on the tv either as there software called silverlight is incompatible ( shock horror) ]

    you can wiziwg via hdmi to your telly quite easily however

    AirPlay works, if you have an Apple set up.
