Streaming MOBDRO live tv to an HD TV overseas?

TRAVELMAN_2

Ok...ok....sad I know but I quite like to watch corrie/eastenders when abroa (get a life I hear you say!). Watched Mobdro live streaming TV in France on a tablet via wifi-no issues at all.

However....off to Greece later in the spring & wondered if there was any app to load on my tablet that would stream via the hotels free wifi onto the HDTV?

I do also have a firestick with Mobdro on....if the TV has a spare HDMI then that should solve the issue....but no-one at Hotel to answer my question until April!

Any ideas kind people?:beer:

hdmi is a port , do you mean wifi?


no wifi = no play for any device




you are snookered if there is no hdmi port on the tv tho , and down to watching it via a phone/tablet

So...if no HDMI port there are no apps for Android that will stream to the TV? Soz to be thick lol (!)

What about this....
Miracast

Miracast runs on a similar principle and works as an alternative to AirPlay, but it is an open standard rather than a closed shop like Airplay. The system is built on top of WiFi Direct and acts like a wireless HDMI connection where everything gets copied from one screen to another using H.264 codec and its own DRM system.
The system operates similar to screencast, which is a realtime screen capture of computer screen output. But, does not record the video to your hard drive instead it streams the video captured over a network to a device which has a screen, like for instance a TV set.
Miracast can handle upto 1080p video and 5.1 surround between two connected devices, both devices need to be Miracast enabled. Many devices support the miracast standard and there are adapters available for devices without Miracast that can plug into usb and hdmi ports.
Compatible with – Runs on devices running Android 4 and above, generally in tablets and phones, the standard is also expected to be available in Windows 8.1 and Blackberry 10.2. Samsung already have Miracast solutions on many of it’s products.
What can be streamed? Movies, shows, music and games running from compatible apps.

miracast dongle are just a "wireless" setup , the receiver plugs into the hdmi port of a TV

So...if no HDMI port there are no apps for Android that will stream to the TV?

There are stacks of apps that will stream via stacks of standards. You're asking Android questions, when actually, the questions apply to the TV in your hotel room. If it doesn't have HDMI, I find it very unlikely that it'll have any smartness to it that will support any streaming standards.

onto a TV without a HDMI socket?




if the TV has a HDMI socket the OP has a portable device that will show what he wants

Some hotels lock the HDMI ports on purpose so even if it has a spare there is still a chance you could be snookered.
