You need a slimport adapter. One end plugs into your Nexus 7 via the micro USB port and the other end has a socket for an HDMI cable. If you don't have spare HDMI cable then you'll need one of those as well.


Slimport adapters seem to vary in cost - maybe buy one from Amazon and send it back within 7 days if it doesn't work/works badly.

I have a Nexus 10 and a Sony Bravia smart tv.


I don't download films from the Nexus to the tv, I just connect the Nexus to the TV using an HDMI cable - the type with a normal sized HDMI end for the tv and a micro HDMI end for the Nexus. After making sure your tv is set at the correct port (that the HDMI cable is connected to) you then play the movie on the Nexus and it appears simultaneously on your tv.

Thanks to all for your advice

After trying to connect tablet wirelessly via flippa and tawny something ? With no joy

I have purchased a lead from amazon which when connected via HDMI mirrors what's on the

Tablet. So can now watch films from show box, and others.


Once again thanks for the advise.

    • What is your beef with me ? Why are you asking rhetorical questions?  fighting me but excusing reform? have a look in the mirror  you’ve lost your way 
    • I don't need you to tell me to 'fight against' racism.  I know what it looks it like, thank you.  And China would be our enemy whether we were in Europe or not (and has been for a long time), so that's immaterial.  I remember covering an EDL march 12 years ago, when there was a Cons-Lib Dem coalition, so the idea that this is a new problem is rubbish. BUT Reform is doing an excellent job of galvanising a minority in reaction to smug liberals like you, who blame the electorate's collective ignorance for all the country's demons.  What right have you for a moral mandate? 
    • Both Labour and Conservatives can remove the threat of a Reform government by making making two major policy promises. And these are .......... (1) categorically state that they will take Britain out of the ECHR and (2) Undertake to remove any new small boat arrivals to Rwanda or wherever else. Reform is basically a single issue party and adopting (1) & (2) would send Reform into obscurity. The country has had enough of our judiciary making a gold-plated interpretation of the ECHR statutes.  
    • You fight against by not pretending. By calling it what it is. Instead of slyly pretending they are not racist “actually”  recognise what the country is facing and say “no” why do you even need to ask the question?
