I would like a wireless hdmi dongle to plug into my TV and allow whatever I am seeing on my windows 8 laptop, Samsung S5 phone and iPad 4 to appear on my TV screen.
Does such a thing exist? I know I can connect my laptop by hdmi lead but I want a wireless option as the hdmi lead option doesn't cover casting my Samsung phone and iPad.
I bought from eBay an 'EZcast' dongle that promised all of this but in reality it doesn't do this (or at least I can't get it to do this easily).

Basically I just want if I am streaming sport or movies from my mobile devices to be able to see this same picture in my TV.
Can anyone recommend something that will do this without having to be a techy genius?
Many thanks.

Well I have the Chromecast and on my Windows PC I can use the Chrome browser to cast any window (with sound) to my TV. Works great with Kodi in conjunction with the Kore remote app.
The Chromecast app for Android will allow you to cast your phone screen straight to your TV.
Here's a video of someone doing exactly that with an S5

I'm not an Apple person, but I believe you can do exactly the same with the IOS version of the Chromecast app.0
