BT Sport - Help

I'm stuck ??? But I bet someone on here will know - but I doubt it will be brother Avery. ::)

I know the JG lounge has BT Sport so this seemed a good place to begin my quest for tech -knowledgey.

Having recently had BT Infinity Broadband installed at home I'd like to know the best way to set it up to watch it on the telly.

At the moment I'm watching it via the BT Sport app on my tablet which connects to the Google Chromecast thingy plugged in to the back of the TV (my mate set this up). This is Ok but the pictures stop, flicker or crash at times. And the Mrs is complaining she can't watch SPL fixtures when I'm out of the house with the tablet ;)

Is it possible to connect the BT Hub to the Chromecast gadget to watch BT Sport without going through the tablet? If so how and do I need any extra kit?

All help would be appreciated - including Andy!

Andy - I couldn't find your very erudite solution in the "Trouble shooting" section of the handbook. ::)

It's not in the Troubleshhoting section, but when I looked in the index under "Disposal, end of equipment life" the details suggested by Andy were there
