Is it possible to mirror sky go from an iPad/iPhone to a device and show on a TV? Tried an Apple TV, but that is blocked. Any suggestions? Need to watch Sky Go in an outbuilding, it has internet and WiFi, a Samsung 'smart' TV etc. Cannot fit a dish due to high trees etc.

You can use screen mirroring from a Mac to Apple TV from the Sky Go website. I think there are various Windows based solutions out there, or you could buy a Chromecast which lets you stream from your browser to the TV (but in my experience at least, isn't quite as good as the Computer/Apple TV combo).

Edit: Sky Go uses Silverlight which isn't supported by Chrome so a Chromecast would be no good.

Second hand Xbox 360 into the hdmi port. Make sure its one with Wi-Fi and hdmi. None of the phone apps will work, as Sky block mirroring.

Sorry, don't understand, can you mirror from an iPad to Xbox? Or is Sky go available on an xBox?
