Home DVR solutions

From the Kona thread…

Yeah, I know sky is a pain for not being able to cast. I have a set top box in my bedroom that has a slingbox app, so I have a hacked way of getting sky in the bedroom that way without multiroom. BT Sport etc is much easier as I just have a chromecast into the bedroom TV.

My question to @gingerbongo was more around how he’s using the google home. My assumption here was the use of a google home hub in the kitchen, rather than just the audio on a standard google home when he said this…

In prior research, I’d never been able to establish if you can use them effectively as a “chromecast display”. So can I cast BT sport, or in a Kona case facebook watch, to the Google Home display? Or can you just install an app directly on the google home and “run it” on the screen? The latter would potentially open up Sky Go if it was running directly on the device
