Connecting Samsung Galaxy S4 to TV using MHL Adaptor

Hi Folks


I am trying to connect my phone to my TV using a MHL adaptor, which on the packaging says, it enables an S3 phone to be connected to the TV.



I have tried to use this to connect my S4 phone but the TV screen just displays the message
‘No Video Available.’
I was under the impression that the MHL adaptor can also be used for my S4 phone.


Could someone suggest home I can rectify the problem?


Thanks in advance for your responses.

    re boot your phone with the lead in it , before doing this go to settings / display and see if there is a setting for adaptor first
