[Technology] Viewing an android phone on a TV

[Blue&WhiteSea]

Anyone know a way of doing this that will work when watching football on Now TV?

Just signed up for their new monthly mobile only contract for £6 and would like to find a way of watching it on a bigger screen if possible.

I've already tried a couple of emulators which didn't work and the T&C's say it won't work via Chromecast. Was thinking of getting some sort of cable but don't want to spend too much if it isn't going to work.

Doesn't.


Are you using your full device limit? You can have 4 devices on the same normal account so smart tv/game console/laptop or set top box might just bypass the problem for you if the contract allows.


I used to use remote desktop software to share screen from one device with another and then use the second device to put onto a big screen... but they closed that loophole recently.

If you can find a why to do it online for SkyGo then it will work for NowTV as they share the same tech.

USB-C (if your phone uses that) to HDMI converter cable.

I understand the Sky Mobile apps block all attempts to screen share, both casting and USB->HDMI.

This is what you need: https://www.gettingpersonal.co.uk/g...VaDv9-33x2F7GW5QM61vqvAr9RCPESrsaAsAwEALw_wcB

For £13 you can get a Now TV box on clearance http://www.argos.co.uk/product/7093371 which plugs into the TV. Obviously your mobile only contract won't work but if you get the occasional day pass for Albion games it will work a treat.

Doesn't.

Does.

But in a not very satisfactory way. You can mirror the screen but it will stutter a bit.
