Perfect - that link was exactly what I wanted - thanks.

is it right that it doesn't show Sky Sports though?
I do have it my package and can get it through the app on my phone.

Sky Sports isn't available using TVGO. I don't know if the Sky Sports app is available for a macbook, however you should open a browser and go to https://www.skysports.com/ 

Then sign in with your VM credentials as below.
