Keep in mind that screen-mirroring Sky Go is not guaranteed to work, it depends on a number of factors, but it’s worth a shot. One trick is to load the Sky Go app on your phone and then rotate it sideways, into landscape mode, which will make the mirrored content on the TV fullscreen. Sky need to create a sky go app for a smart TV enabling customers to watch when, wherever they are. Or alternatively allow mirroring from a ipad etc. All customers want to do is watch what they pay for however which way they want. Connecting your PC or laptop to your TV over HDMI is the hassle-free way to watch Sky Go content. As long as there are HDMI ports on both of your devices, you can use an HDMI cable to connect your computer to your TV and mirror your desktop over a wired and reliable interface. You can use screen mirroring from a Mac to Apple TV from the Sky Go website. I think there are various Windows based solutions out there, or you could buy a Chromecast which lets you stream from.

If your music unexpectedly stops
If your music stops playing unexpectedly, use your device or Siri to start playing music again. In some situations, the Home app may be using your HomePod,* Apple TV or AirPlay-compatible speaker as the main audio source for streaming music (even if your HomePod* or Apple TV isn’t currently playing music). Using Siri on that device or performing another task may cause playback to stop everywhere. You can also use an iOS device or computer with iTunes as an audio source to stream music manually instead.
If you see video but can't hear audio
If you can't hear audio when streaming video from your iOS device or Mac to your Apple TV, make sure the volume has been turned up and isn't muted on both your iOS device and your television or receiver.
