Hey I have access to an HDMI cable well from a friend of mine it is micro USB to hdmi and I just wanted find out if we needed some sort of app to get it working or if it will work just by plugging it in and playing a video

Ticking "Video out" from settings>display should do the trick.
Ok cool but it should work just by playing a video right

Yea I got the standard 3.5 to RCAs to work by clicking the video out then just playing around on the phone. It just mirrored what my screen was doing. The HDMI should allow playback of HD videos, etc
Apologies if this is a stupid question...
When I record a video on my phone, I'd like to be able to stream the clip on to my television through AllShare. Sadly, my television won't play the files. Neither will my 360.
Is it simply that neither will recognise the file format? Or am I doing something completely wrong?
I don't think the 360 supports the playback of recorded videos. I couldn't get mine to work when I tried.
It seemed to be pushing a 3gpp video instead of the mp4 when I did it. Maybe the fact that it was 1080p didn't help either.
Must give it another go at some point.

You can stream via allshare to the xbox, but the xbox has to be in media center mode.

Is there a HDMI output on the Sony S1?
Getting one soon. And i want to connect it to my Bravia Tv.

That would be a simple 'no' my friend. Unfortunately, there is no hdmi. The only ports on this tablet are a full sd card slot, and a mini usb. Hopefully, Sony plans on releasing a dock or something? But for now. No hdmi.

You can link it using DLNA or Remote Control
Both easy to set up
DLNA works for listening or watching movies on your TV, kind of similar to HDMI but wirelessly

use DLNA
i'm pritty sure that Bravia TVs support it
Yes dlna is great, but cannot compare AT ALL to a direct video hook up. Plus, you would need a dlna server ( computer) to stream your content. An hdmi would only require the tablet to view anything that's stored on it. Dlna doesn't stream content from the files located on the tab itself. Its completely different than what the op is curious about.

I suppose the microUSB port could also be an MHL>HDMI port. Can't find it mentioned in the specs anywhere though. My HTC Flyer's port is MHL, and essentially doubles as HDMI-out if you need it.
I've got an LG Smart TV above my home PC, and DLNA allows any of my tablets using the right app to send video/movies directly to it over WiFi. Not the same as mirroring the whole UI on the TV which you do usually get if a tablet has any form of HDMI-output.

Ok. You're right about that. However, not all dlna-certified devices support the same file formats. Like my bravia will play any picture or sound, but it will not play any videos from android. A samsung will because it has integrated support. So, an hdmi cable will 'obviously' play anything connected to it because it's a direct stream. Also, dlna is best used with a dmc server. Than it would allow any/most formats.

Hey all
Just wondering what would be the best option to mirror the note screen wirelessly on my tv? To be able to see the home screen and play games. I have heard of dongles and other external devices to connect as a receiver to the tv...but would think would be an application solution through dlna like you can do with allshare that only can do videos, photos and music
Any ideas? Thanks

Mine too. I use MHL adaptor. But thats not what you want to do. Wireless to a non-wireless tv is the rub.
Apple tv is the idea you want. There is a wireless adaptor for tv and lcd projectors from netgear or linksys. They are called media adaptors or some such thing.
