Android Central Question

I currently watch Sky Sports using the Sky Go app. They deliberately make it impossible to Cast to a TV by using Chrome Cast. However, I found a work around by connecting my laptop via an HDMI cable to my TV and it works perfectly. I do this by using the TV as an extended desktop and can show sky sports full screen on my TV. However my laptop is no longer working.

I have never connected my Samsung S7 to a TV but have wondered if there is any way to do the same - to connect my TV to my S7 and show Sky Sports in full screen on the TV? I assume I'll need a cable that connects the micro USB to the HDMI port but don't know if this will be able to transmit the Sky Go app, and even if it does will the image be compromised in a way that did not happen with the laptop?

Any thoughts much appreciated.
