Morning,

I was wondering if someone from this brilliant community can help abit of a novice to get the Town game onto my TV (yes it’s a smart tv).

What apps can I use is there an app I can download and it’ll all work?

Or do I just go to the town website and do it on my tv?

Cheers in advance thanks

HDMI cable from laptop to this easiest. You can try and use the web browser on the TV but it’s not great in my experience.

HDMI from laptop or mirror link from phone.

It’s a good question and I’ll be interested in the other replies.... however I have been watching on ifollow since it started (lived abroad) and have only got it to work on an iPad, and even that stops if I try and connect an hdmi cable to the telly.
So I reckon you’ll only get it on a phone, tablet or laptop, but hope some technical genius can prove me wrong.
Would be great to us smash the Scunts on the big screen

Do you have a Chromecast? If so, use your computer and play the game in Google Chrome. You can cast your browser to your TV. When I did it this way the quality was great!

Ah, maybe you can help me. I have a Chromcast plugged into my tv, but it only seems to give me options to control the temperature in my house. I’m obviously missing something.

It's easier to set it up on your phone but once it's set up your computer should pick it up too.

I've streamed every game this season for the £10 and unfortunately it's been working fine, no spinning white circle on a black background or login problems, typical.

I lived abroad. Have had Ifollow since they started broadcasting. In the beginning, I used Cromecast with a lot of problems. Since I have used HDMI cable then it has almost always worked well.

I contacted iFollow several weeks ago when I couldn’t get it to work on my smart tv, they told me that the platform does not support smart TVs. So I loaded it up on my laptop and connected to the tv with hdmi, I selected the input source on the tv and it works spot on. No delay or buffering at all.
Or you can just watch from your laptop but it’s better on a large screen tv.

What app should I be using. I was told google home and that might be why I can only control the temperature in my house?

It should show up on your home app. I can see it on mine as "Living Room TV"

Is your Chromecast plugged into the TV and connected to a power source?

Did you sort it? Sorry I was working at Grimsby Borough.

On your Chrome browser there is an option in the menu at the top to Cast your screen and that should be it.

Use an old laptop with HDMI out to a 7 years old 55" TV.

Sometimes stutters a bit but still watchable apart from the crap football.

I use the "mirror" function on my smart TV.

Go to the mirror function on the  TV apps, then on your phone, go to "smart TV" function and search for your TV. When it finds it you can connect your phone to your telly and watch it from your phone.

Hope that makes sense. This works for me, apart from the football being crap.
