Hello you sexy Fab geeks and geekettes!!
I have a nexus 7 (2013) and watch Netflix etc on it but I'd like to stream it on my TV. I bought a slimport adaptor off Amazon but it doesn't work 
I think it has miracast so have been looking for adaptors on amazxon but was wondering if I need a snazzy TV for it to work? |

Latest Sony Xperia androids have have a built in 'throw' feature. I play or look at something on the phone screen and hit the throw button and bang, it connects to the tv and appears on the screen, via blue tooth.

Actually, I am about to be useful...!
Just remembered that we have used some recently that were extremely good.

The link will also give you some prices and where to get them but mostly between £16 and £20 depending on supplier.

"What about cheapskate option with a mini USB to hdmi lead? I think Nexus have a mini USB port. "
I bought a slimport adaptor that has mini USB to HDMI but for the love of jebus I can't get it to work with my tablet it has a usb connector too and works fine with laptops etc so think the tablet is not HDMI compatible maybe?! |

Grrrr now I've been researching and the Chromecast doesn't need the host devices screen to be on which sounds better, why do they make choices so hard?! Lol |

I think the Nexus 7 (2013) had a bug in it's slimport implementation. There are loads of different makes, if you had a budget one that may be the issue.
Double check it's 2013 and not 2012. Pretty sure the 2012 version didn't support HDMI output. |
