So I want to watch ice hockey games this winter Olympics but highly doubt Channel 7 will put them live on TV (apart from gold medal games), I tried their OlympicsOn7 app which allows to switch between different sports however this app only works on iPhone which is pathetic.

I've got Sony TV (Android), Foxtel Now Box and PS4 but this app is not available on any of these….

Any suggestions?

    I have found the Channel 7 coverage to be very poor. They spend 3 hours talking about an event which is starting in 4 hours where 1 Australian is competing and probably will not win. I would rather them show other events instead of wasting time showing home town footage of the Aussie contender - I will watch them compete when the time comes!

    I haven't tried it, but the app is certainly available on Android phones as well.

    It's available on Android but no Chromecast support. Haven't tried t sideload it on Android TV yet.

    A few options I can think of other than the ones already mentioned.

    1. install kodi on your android TV.

    2. Use the PS4 browser to stream content.

    3. Use Youtube on either PS4 or Android TV to stream.

    4. Start streaming on your Android Phone or PC Chrome Browser and then mirror it to the chromecast on Android TV.

      Thanks for your help number 4 works brilliantly.

      PSA: Using VPN connect to Canadian server and open CBC website (Canadian Public Broadcaster), it's free watch as long you are in Canada (or have Canadian IP:), then just click cast on your Chrome browser and stream to your Android device (works with Foxtel Now and Sony Smart TV)

      Now I need to stock up on beer

        glad to hear that it worked for you :)

    CBC Canada streams all the games for free. Get it working through a VPN and Bobs your uncle.
