You will be able to cast it via the app.
Got it on the smart tv when you press play it just shows you Rangers v Aberdeen is that a test screen?
DeletedGot to feel for older season ticket holders because there will be quite a few that will struggle and in all probability will end up missing out. Only way my dad will be able to watch is because I'll set it up for him or he wouldn't have a clue tbh. But there will be some who maybe don't have people close at hand to sort it out.
Just tried casting from RTV app on my iPad to Sony smart TV and it worked with no problem, but the movement of the ball was a little bit jerky, and that's with a 350 mb/s broadband wifi connection. So I'll use laptop to HDMI which is usually smooth.
Well there’s an ageist post I am 84,would normally be at the game but RTV is a dawdle,very old smat arse loyal

Offending folk is one of the few joys of getting old as far as I can tell. You get a free pass.

Using silk with my dad's firestick and when ai press on to live game it's not loading. Worked fine on my firestick with sanr browser.
Please don’t get annoyed with my post, I have registered with RTV my package status shows season ticket access until July 2021 but when I click on the game it asks me to pay. Will this just apear 45 mins before kick off.
Again apologies if this has been covered a million times before I just don’t want to get caught out as I have another code that I can redeem for my sons account.
A51 same.With my Samsung (Galaxy A50) I just mirror my phone to my telly through Smart View.
Android mate
If you have a google chromecast, use that to cast from your phone. If you don't have one of those I highly recommend you buy one for future games. It's what i've been using for the live games and the quality and streaming has been seemless.
Back to today's game, the other method you could try is if you have a firestick there's 2 options:
1) Download firefox browser on firestick and watch the game through that. Again good quality.
2) Download Airplay casting app to firestick and cast straight from phone through that. I've not tried that so don't know how reliable it is or how good the quality is.
If you don't have firestick OR chromecast then I'm all out of ideas except that it's time to go fuckin shopping!
Use to have a chromecast but she got shot of it cos I never used it!!

Thanks for this. I’ve struggled to get my dad set up to see it on his TV. gave up and told him he’ll have to watch this on the IPad. Just couldn’t get the IPad to talk to his Chromecast.Today's tuppenceworth from me!
As ValleyBluenose will perhaps recall, I was having a hellish time before trying to get the live.Rangers link to work on Opera on a Sony Bravia Smart TV.
Today I downloaded the RTV app. Went to the live game, started the video, hit the chrome cast button and it worked smooth as silk. This was from an iPhone 11 max pro.
I "think" I previously, some months ago, had downloaded an app onto my tv to enable me to chrome cast from apple devices. I can try to dig back into the apps on the tv and find out what it's called if anyone would find that helpful. However I didn't see another app on my tv start up when I started casting just now. It just seemed to click straight on, so I'm thinking it's perhaps running natively.
Fingers crossed it continues to work. Just got the placeholder wit the two crests for now.
(as an aside, I was using a MacBook pro with an HDMI cable at the start of the last game, but I binned it, it was really stuttery / buffering a lot. Which was weird given that type of connection. The same cable / input works fine for an xbox running 4k stuff, so I've no idea why there was a problem. However the RTV App - fingers crossed - seems to be the answer for me. Hope that helps someone else).
I think Sky Q only does audio casting mate. However I’ve not really tried it very often so I might well be wrong.How do you cast from the app to a sky Q box?
It does only audio right enough it’s a pain in the arseI think Sky Q only does audio casting mate. However I’ve not really tried it very often so I might well be wrong.
The app I installed was called AirPlay Mirror mateThanks for this. I’ve struggled to get my dad set up to see it on his TV. gave up and told him he’ll have to watch this on the IPad. Just couldn’t get the IPad to talk to his Chromecast.
I wondered if the app might work but I didn’t want to try it so late and risk him locking his account.
Will try that before the next game cheers.
