On your PS4’s home screen, make sure you are signed into the PlayStation Network, and then scroll along to the TV & Video section. Here, go to the All Apps tab at the top left, then scroll down the alphabetical list to the TV from Sky app, which should have the Sky logo.
Click on this with the X button, and you’ll be taken to the app’s page on the PlayStation Store. Here, click Download. While the app is downloading, you can press the PlayStation button on the centre of the controller to return to the home screen.
You’ll receive a notification when the download has finished, and you will then be able to open the TV from Sky app from the TV and Video screen. The first time you open it, you will have to sign in with your Sky iD.
