Mirror/cast BT Sport app to LG TV

Posted 12th Feb 2020

Hi

Does anyone know of a way to screen mirror or cast my BT Sport app to my LG smart tv using my iPhone/IPad

I get the BT Sport app free through my BT mobile contract but due to this, being able to chromecast or use the online player is disabled. I’ve got a really old Samsung S5 and tried to screen mirror with that, it works but is very jumpy and connection ain’t great which I’m presuming due to age of the phone.

I’ve seen apps for iOS that say they can screen mirror but wonder if anyone know a reliable way to do it as i grudge upgrading to pay the prices BT are starting to charge for their sports channels

I think the only way to do it is by casting your phone screen and cast it that way. You're correct it isn't great just now, apperently it's because they've recently updated the app that's causing issues. It should hopefully get back to normal. (edited)

if you have a ps4 you can install the BT app on there and watch it via the TV

I’ve read a few websites that suggest some 3rd party apps that can be used to mirror my iPhone/iPad but not sure how reliable these apps will be

Doesn’t for me - just comes up with same pay up for mirroring message from bt, so does Apple TV, any app I’ve tried so far!

Bought an MHL cable off amazon cheap enough to try and seems to work well so far, decent picture quality and minimal lag or picture issues. Thanks for the the advice

The way I managed this is to uninstall the Bt app as they patched mirroring (unless you pay extra) in the latest update (8.0.4). Then download version 6.0.9 from apkpure website. Tap screen mirror option on your phone and Cast away :-)

If your LG TV has AirPlay 2 you can stream BT Sport app from your iPad iOS device to the TV. I have it on my LG 2019 model which works fine but isn't (yet) available on my LG 2018 model. So it will depend how new your LG TV is. Check this Link for further details. (edited)
