No idea on how to connect. However, the club Wifi is not designed for streaming and that is stated on the wifi information page. Although it could do with being in much larger text. Even on gold and silver sites there would be insufficient bandwidth available once a few others were online at the same time. All you would succeed in doing is clogging up the system making it generally unusable, even for emails and general browsing, which is its intended use. On bronze sites there would be no chance. Using a MiFi or linking to your phone would be the best bet, as long as a 4G signal is available.

You would not be popular if you did as no else would get a look in and you watching a frozen screen, We have a 4g wifi hub so we could watch Sky go and BBC I player with our laptop hooked up to the TV via a HMDI lead that's providing we have a good signal of course

I’m guessing here, but If you have a subscription service (rather than using your home router) you have to go through an authentication process. Also, generally you can only login with one device. Sounds like your TV doesn’t have the option to accept network names/passwords etc.

You made the crazy assumption that the site wifi was like proper wifi that most of the world has. It does not have the bandwidth or user capacity but then most on site dont use it, its a demographic thing.
The connection issue is probably due to a sign in screen issue that a lot of smart tvs struggle to deal with on subscription type systems. Try changing your default browser to Chrome or Opera, download the aps at home.
Forget using the site wifi its usless in most locations. Get a mifi router and a pre paid data card and you will be able to stream via wifi to your TV. You can use you phone tethered but this is data heavy and phones do not have good enough antenna in a lot of locations.

I use my fire stick linked to my iPhone’s hotspot, works well with Netflix and Prime.
Data useage could be a problem for some, but after my last year’s fiascos with the Club’s site Wi-Fi, decided to up my data package and not use the Club. Chose Smarty and now have 8 GB, instead of the 1 GB, with previous supplier and now cheap as chips.
