Pointless if you’re not subscribing to the (greatly) over-priced cable service. Make a mobile subscription & I’m in, otherwise…

Great! Now if I could pin content to my Infinity, would be great!

maybe, only if your phone supports it. you would probably find a menu in the settings alluding to this fact. or you could look it up. this is called MHL-out. a lot of the phones last year or so had this. a lot of the newer ones do not. my razr m has no output except for DLNA. i think google is trying to kill it off with the newer versions of android supporting wireless display out (but not even the nexus devices right now even do it)

Now if only my Asus Eee pad would have support for HDMI out for Google play I’d have all the HDMI out I could handle. Also screw whoever is at fault on that Asus/Google Play no HDMI problem.

Seems like STARZ PLAY is only available if you are a COX subscriber….at least for iOS. Not sure if the app is available for Android yet. I have VZ Fios anyways so I prob won’t be able to get it. Sigh….all I want to watch is Spartacus.

Certain cable providers let you access STARZ through their own apps at least, like Verizon.

Ah, that’s too bad – thanks anyway. I guess the only option would be to buy a microUSB-to-HDMI wire?

DLNA only works for media stored on phone. So no. I wish there was. I’m charging my droid 2 and gonna test it with that

If your phone doesn’t have HDMI-out, is there a way to do this with a DLNA app on your phone, connecting to your TV through a DLNA-capable device like a PS3?

And still no Android tablet support for MAX GO. HBO GO got this months ago. They’re basically the same app. What the hell is the problem?

Awesome. Good thing my RAZR m and nexus 7 don’t have video out! I don’t understand why Google would kill off MHL out before something is there to replace it.
