How to watch films on TV which are downloaded on the Samsung Galaxy S4 mobile phone?

Hi Folks
I managed to download an app called Showbox on my phone, which as I understand it, enables you to watch movies on your mobile phone. Is that correct?
I am not very tech savvy, so was wondering if any of you kind folk out there would answer some of the questions that I have:
1. How do I find out that I have downloaded the app correctly?
2. When I touch the Showbox icon (which shows a photo of a human eye), how do I use it to find films that I want to watch?
3. Once I find a suitable film, how do I download it on to the phone?
4. Would that use a lot of memory and would I need some sort of memory card?
5. If I wanted to watch the downloaded film on a normal TV, how do I connect my phone to the TV?
Thanks very much in advance for your responses.

Well it's not going to be on the Play store for obvious reasons, check your downloads folder1. How do I find out that I have downloaded the app correctly?
Use the search facility2. When I touch the Showbox icon (which shows a photo of a human eye), how do I use it to find films that I want to watch?
Press the download button3. Once I find a suitable film, how do I download it on to the phone?
It won't use memory, but it will use storage space4. Would that use a lot of memory and would I need some sort of memory card?
Use an MHL adaptor to connect the phone to the TV via HDMI5. If I wanted to watch the downloaded film on a normal TV, how do I connect my phone to the TV?
Although I couldn't care less, note that what you plan to do is breach of copyright.Understeer is when you hit a wall with the front of your car
Oversteer is when you hit a wall with the back of your car
Horsepower is how fast your car hits the wall
Torque is how far your car sends the wall across the field once you've hit it0 -

It has nothing to do with the operating system, add on devices like that are hardware specific.Understeer is when you hit a wall with the front of your car

Hi Folks
Many thanks for your help. I recently bought a MHL Adaptor Cable for 11 Pin Devices suitable for Samsung Galaxy S3 and Note 2 from Maplins. However, the sales person said it should also work on the Samsung Galaxy S4 which I have. However, it does not seem to work.
Do you think there is something wrong with my TV?0 -
Might be the format of the illegal videos from that site .0
