So depends on how smart your TV is. Mine is too old, but with newer ones you can just broadcast the screen from your smart phone. With older ones you need to a ChromeCast into the tv and share to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although i may have to eat these words later on my own with cold turkey squashed sprouts and broken mince pies . When you connect the hdmi lead and turn the tv to the right hdmi input you will most likely see a cloned laptop desktop - this will be easiest to work as it will simply mimic your laptop screen. There are more advanced options to extend the desktop to the tv, under which you'd to drag the browser across from the laptop desktop to the pc desktop, but if it's simplicity you want just stick to a cloned desktop. I suggest a quick run through before lunch - watch one of the interview/highlights videos from bctv - making the video full screen. (You might need to change the audio device from the laptop speaker to the 'hdmi output device' i.e. tv - you can do this under windows 10 by left clicking the volume icon and clicking on the name of the current audio device and chosing the right option from the list of audio output devices shown once connected up to the tv). Nearer matchtime bctv will pop up a feed/link for the live game, and apart from making sure the video is fullscreen and on play (rather than paused) and the audio set right you'll be good to go. The video quality of bctv can be lowish and maybe a bit choppy but it should be as good as the red button experience. There shouldn't be any buffering/lost stream but it has been known. Try restarting the video stream in these cases. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coin-op Posted December 26, 2019 Report Share Posted December 26, 2019 I can confirm that the quality is good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norn Iron Posted December 26, 2019 Report Share Posted December 26, 2019 Or you could phone Sky if you have an account with them and haggle for a one month Sports Subscription. They will say it costs £30. I got it down to £20 which included them immediately cancelling my subscription once I had paid (it was a rolling contract that needs 31 days notice for cancellation). This means I have 3 City matches left to watch. It works out at just under £7 per game for you. I know they are on the Red Button (only one camera) but commentary is provided.

Unan Posted December 26, 2019 Report Share Posted December 26, 2019 @the frampton balti As others have said, a HDMI cable will work fine & the quality should be okay. If anything a poor quality screen would be because your tv rather than the laptop, as most video is in at least 1080p these days (blu-ray quality). Literally all you have to do is plug the HDMI cable in to your laptop/tv & you will get your laptop screen showing on your tv, job done. One common problem is sound not playing out of the tv, if this happens just search (on your laptop taskbar) 'sound', and when in the sound settings change the output to your tv (there will be an option custom to whatever your tv is). I'd plug it in now to make sure it runs smooth, it should do anyway, but just in case. Edit: For this game you can watch it in the UK but if you want to watch games in the future on BCTV: Also, if you're in the UK then you won't be able to watch the stream so you need a little tool called a VPN (virtual private network), also know as a proxy. All this does is mask your location, so it seems as if you are elsewhere. You can select it to display any country & BCTV will think you are watching from there, therefore you will be given permissions to watch it. You don't have to worry about changing your details on your BCTV account. Mine say my UK address, I have a UK card etc but as long as I'm 'abroad' when I play the stream, it works. I'd recommend Windscribe as the best VPN to use, you get 2.5gb (one game is about 2gb streaming) for free every month, or 10GB free every month if you sign up with your email. https://windscribe.com/ Let me know if you need anymore help, hope this is clear, my heads banging like a shithouse in a gale.

Hi FB, not sure of how modern your tv or laptop are, but a reasonably modern laptop (windows 10) should allow you to mirror the laptop. The steps can vary due to the brand but have a google and you will find some guides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
