Sky Ticket on the Smart TV: How it works

Sky Ticket is available for Samsung and LG smart TVs. In this practical tip, you can read how to install the app and what alternative ways are available for televisions from other brands.

Use Sky Ticket on LG and Samsung Smart TVs

Sky Ticket is officially only available for a few Smart TVs. If you have a Samsung or LG Smart TV, you can download the app.

• Requirements for the app on Samsung devices are that your TV is equipped with the Tizen operating system and that the model is at least from 2015 or younger.
• For a LG TV, the model should also be from 2014 or younger and have LG webOS TV as the operating system.
• In addition, your television should already be set up and connected to the Internet - either via a LAN cable or via WLAN.
• Start the app store on your TV and search for "Sky Ticket".
• With a few clicks, you can then install and start the app on your TV.
• As soon as the app is running, you can log in with your Sky login data.

Stream the program on other Smart TVs: This detour works

If you have a TV that does not meet the above requirements, there are no official Sky Ticket apps yet. Most new Smart TVs, however, are equipped with an Internet browser and have enough computing power to access even more demanding websites. You have the following options:

• Open the browser of your TV, navigate to "skyticket.sky.de" and log in like on the computer. Control via the remote control can be complicated, but is possible with most devices. After registration, you can play films and series just like on the computer.
• If you use Amazon Fire TV, you can go the same way as with other Smart TVs. The default browser on the device is called "Silk".
• Many televisions that have an Internet connection are Miracast-compatible. When you start a movie in the Sky Ticket app on your mobile device, the cast symbol appears in the top right. Select this to search for available devices to stream to.
• If none of the above works for you, Google's Streaming Stick Chromecast is a simple and affordable solution. This supports the mobile Sky Ticket app without any problems and brings your films and series to the TV - even if it is old. All you need is an HDMI connection and a socket.
