You should be able to use a hdmi or vga cable to connect the laptop to the tv, depends on TV and laptop.

With regards to using your brothers Sky go, you may be commuting fraud if you don't live in the same house, check the Ts & Cs

Set the tv up as a 2nd display for the laptop

Have you tried it?! Just connect the HDMI cable & check. If you don't have a cable just borrow one & check. That would be the simplest thing to do.

Depends on the laptop, hold the Fn key and press the number key with a pic of monitor on it, you can then toggle the different options for dual displays etc. Or control panel - display settings and extend display.

You need to extend the display to TV

That's a mirrored screen, change to extended, that way you can drag the Sky go app to the 2nd screen (the TV)

torrevieja

forgot to drag it
