Don't run the intell GPU run the extra GPU card... of the Mac book air... get a GPU switcher app
There will be compliance issues with intell GPU... as they won't support the DRM correctly...

Extra...
If you did not get a Mac with an extra GPU built in then youll have to wait untill they rebuild the app... which may never happen...

This is nuts, you're telling me they built a new app for macOS which actually won't work on the majority of Macs out there? Very few have dedicated graphics cards.
Given the fact it's a new app I can't see them ignoring the issue forever.

It's an issue with the player that needs fixing at the moment, that seems to be caused by an incompatibility with certain internal graphics.
In the meantime if you have Silverlight installed on your machine, you can still use Firefox to watch in-browser via Silverlight (if you don't have Silverlight installed Firefox also prompts to install the app).
Alternately, some users have reported a temporary fix by installing gfxCardStatus and forcing it to use discrete instead of integrated graphics, but it will depend on the model of your MBP and as it's a third party app I can't guarantee it will work and you would need to install it at your own risk (I don't have the issue on my Mac so I've not needed to do anything).

@Anonymous User I don't know tbh as I don't use the Sky apps, and I'm not an expert on these things, but by the sound of it they are basically the same (ie as basic as you can get, purely used for playback and nothing else). It's an Electron app if that helps!
