iPad hdmi connection - Bobby

Description is a bit vague, will this allow you to show live streaming from your iPad to big TV? Or is it just for showing photos and videos ie. files that you have stored on your iPad?

Not certain Bobby but it links a very similar setup to what I use from my MacBook in hotels to watch Netflix etc, i.e. basically it replicates what is on the device screen, wherever it comes from.
I imagine an iPhone/iPad could work the same way but haven't tried it, don't know what resolution it would pass down the cable.

It replicates whats on your pad screen to your TV.

Although, say, an iPad screen resolution is 1536x2048 it depends on what resolution and frame rate it transfers data at via the lightning connector.

It almost certainly depends on the resolution of the TV panel.

SKY on your I-phone is on the iphone only.
On the contract for my phone I get Sky sports - useless as you can see nothing on the phone.
A son said you cannot link Sky to the TV, OK for photos & other streamed suppliers.

Think thats if you try to cast it, a physical connection should work.

Another issue is that an iPad is 4:3 ratio where as a widescreen TV is 16:9.

Just noticed itâ€™s only for IOS 8-10.
Assume Apple must have done something to block these for IOS 11 onwards??

The info may say IoS 8-10 though the spec may not have been updated, it still could well be compatible with IoS 11.

The add was probably written before ios 11 came out.

If you've got something like an Amazon Fire TV stick, Chromecast, etc, then there are Apps out there to wirelessly transit from your iPad to your TV.

Just an update - cable works fine, totally mirrors what is on your iphone / ipad screen although BT app still seems to be able to detect that this is connected and not allow it to be transposed onto the TV!

I find that NowTV programmes using an HDMI lead from a tablet rather than the actual NowTV box cannot be viewed on a television; must be Sky being awkward..:-(
