Can I stream the BT Sport app to my TV?

Can I stream the BT Sport app to my TV?
The BT Sport app is compatible with both Apple TV and Google Chromecast devices, allowing you to watch video from the app on your television.
For either to work, the device on which you are running the BT Sport app must be on the same Wifi network as your Apple TV or Chromecast.
Please note, to get the best quality experience on your TV we recommend a minimum broadband line speed of 2mbps.
Apple TV
Apple TV set-up instructions are available here
Once you have set up your Apple TV according to the manufacturer's instructions and put your TV on the correct HDMI channel, access the app as normal on your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch.
If the device senses an Apple TV on the same network, an Airplay icon (pictured) will appear in the bottom right corner of the video player.
Tap this icon and select 'Apple TV' from the menu that appears. The video will then be sent to your television.
When you are using Airplay functionality within the BT Sport app, the video will not also appear on the screen of your device.
Google Chromecast
Chromecast set-up instructions are available here
You can 'cast' video to a Chromecast from either the iOS or Android version of the BT Sport app.
First, set up your Chromecast according to the manufacturer's instructions and put your TV on the correct HDMI channel.
If the device running the BT Sport app is on the same Wifi network as a fully set-up Chromecast, a casting icon appears in the top right-hand corner of the app home screen.
When the user taps the casting icon, a pop-up window appears displaying all Chromecast devices detected. The user needs to select the Chromecast that they wish to cast to, regardless of whether they only have a single device.
Once the device is connected to the Chromecast, the casting icon in the top right corner is illuminated blue
When the casting icon is illuminated, it does NOT mean that the page is mirroring to your TV. It simply means that, when you do start playing a video on the app, it will cast to your TV.
A viewer can also start casting while a video is already playing within the app, by following exactly the same process.
When you are casting from the BT Sport app to your television, the video will not also appear on the screen of your device.
If you are having problems streaming the BT Sport channels to your Chromecast, it is recommended that you try using the extender that is included in the Chromecast packaging, as it may be that the Chromecast is not receiving a strong enough Wifi signal from your router.

    I've been trying to login to the BT Sport app and keep getting told that I haven't activated it yet. I'm shown an activate button and when I press it I'm taken to a site where I have to log in using my My BT credentials. Upon logging in I'm shown the following message:
    "Sorry you can't access the BT Sport App and online content because a BT ID created by Stephen is the account holder."
    The message is completely nonsensical as I the account holder and I've logged in with valid credentials. I tried calling the helpline and am still waiting for someone to call me back, even though I called them two hours ago. What awful service.

    Hi W0035521,
    Welcome to the community forum. Do you have more than 1 BT ID? It sounds like you have another ID that has been set up with account holder status. I can take a look at this for you. Please send me in your details using the "Contact The Mods" link found in my profile.
    Thanks

  • Can I get the BT Sport App if I order BT Sport on ...

    I'd just like a bit of help clarifying something up as i'm struggling to understand how this works, so i've looked at the FAQ about the BT Sport App and found this:
    Who can get the BT Sport App?
    The BT Sport App and online access at btsport.com is included when you take the BT Sport Pack on the Sky Digital Satellite Platform or BT TV.
    If you're a BT Broadband customer but not a BT Sport television channel subscriber, you can add the BT Sport App and online access to your BT products by logging into My BT on or after 1 August. Then simply download the app from your device's app store, or go to btsport.com from 1 August to start viewing.
    Now I don't have BT Broadband/TV or anything but i'd really like to get BT Sport as it's now my only way to watch UFC, my grandad has Sky TV with sky sports at the moment and I use his Sky Go to watch the footy
    If I order BT Sport from his Sky account and pay the 12£ per month for bt sport, can I use the BT Sport App to watch the UFC/Footy etc?
    Can I get the BT Sport App if I order BT Sport on Sky is what i'm basically asking haha
    Thanks for reading, would love to sort this out before the UFC on Saturday!

    No, I would recommend getting a Roku.  Apple doesn't allow Hulu Plus or HBO GO.

    Yeah, I know I can restore it, but I might as well go ahead and try. I just finished a backup for icloud and itunes to make sure, I'll go ahead and restore it and set it up as new and see how that works. Seems like I have no other options at this point, I'd still like to know what they did with the Download tab in itunes store, if they removed it or if I'm just overlooking it.

  • How can I get my sky sports app on to my new iPad and remove it from old ipad

    How can I change my sky sports app from old iPad to new iPad

    You can delete the app from your old iPad by tapping and holding on the app until it jiggles and displays an X. Then tap the X and confirm you want to delete the app.
    If your new iPad is using the same Apple ID as your old iPad use the App Store app to download the app. As long as you are using the same Apple ID there will no charge for apps that have a fee.

  • I now have 4 itouchs, 1 ipad mini, and three iphones for my own family members.  What's the bet way for me to setup itunes so that we can all share the same music, apps, movies, shows, etc?

    I now have 4 itouches, 1 ipad mini and 3 iphones in use by my direct family.  What's the best way for me to set things up so that we can all share the same music, apps, movies, shows etc?
    I would prefer to have one account to input dollars which allows all the users (my direct family) to share and buy things.
    Can we all have different user ID's however share the same account?

    I'll try to help a bit.
    ITunes match space is different to icloud space. With iTunes match you get storage for 25,000 non iTunes purchased tracks and other than a limit for individual file size, there is no memory limit.
    You can turn match on individuallyon each device (I have it turned off on my iPod but turned on on my iPad and iPhone). When you turn it on then you get access to all the tracks, and in my experience any playlists I create have transferred over very well. I understand that some people have had trouble with playlists though.
    I'm not quite clear with exactly what you mean regarding cleaning up your library, but be careful about using Match for this. There is no guarantee that matched songs will be exactly the same version as your own copy, due to some mismatches, so you could find some problems there. Personall, I am cleaning up my library before matching, but I am rather particular about keeping my library the way I want it. If you aren't as fussed then match could be the answer.
    Hope that helped.

    Hello, thank you for your prompt answer. I did have an idea that Home sharing might be the answer but could not quite figure out how to do it. I have enabled home sharing in my iTunes account, put in username and password, clicked on creat etc. But the homs sharing icon doew not appear in the left side of iTunes. So I got stuck. Any further ideas?

  • How can i check the office web app server(wac client) is calling custom WOPI host?

    I am getting an error when I testing my wopi host(which is the same as
    example) with Office Web app server "Sorry, there was a problem and we can't open this document.  If this happens again, try opening the document in Microsoft Word."
    1-how can find the log files of this error?
    2-how can i check the office web app server(wac client) is calling my WOPI host?
    I am not sure about cumunication between owa to wopi host. I actually dont know how to implement checkfile and getfile functions to wopi host for waiting for call back from owa client.
    Note:I am sure that office web app server is configured true. Because i test it with sharepoint 2013 and editing and viewing is working well.

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that
    CheckFileInfo is how the WOPI application gets information about the file and the permissions a user has on the file. It should have a URL that looks like this:
    HTTP://server/<...>/wopi*/files/<id>?access_token=<token>
    While CheckFileInfo provides information about a file, GetFile returns the file itself. It should have a URL that looks like this:
    HTTP://server/<...>/wopi*/files/<id>/contents?access_token=<token>
    There is a great article for your reference.

    You can also refer to the following article which is about building an Office Web Apps(OWA) WOPI Host.

  • After downloading the update I can't get the new photos app to appear in my photo browser when trying to add a photo in excel.

    After I downloaded the new update the new photo app will not appear in my photo browser list when I try to insert a picture in my excel document.  How can I add the new photo app to my browser list?

    If Preview and Mail’s media browser don’t work, Gary, can you export all the pictures from the new iPhoto package back to folders and use an earlier copy of iPhoto such as 8.1.2?
    I have both versions on my system so it may be the Mail and Preview media browsers are not accessing the new iPhoto package.  I thought they were the new version but maybe not; I see a single iPhoto Library icon and when I control-click on it it offers to show the package contents...
