Townleygreen Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Is it an HDMI cable you need? Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/41277-nexus-tablet-techies/#findComment-720315 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ed_pete Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 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.Link to a slimport adapter on Amazon sitehttp://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00HPZAA1C/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_dp_ss_2?pf_rd_p=103612307&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B00DWGB6CU&pf_rd_m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&pf_rd_r=1Q1TEKQMG1N3CCHTMNYQ Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/41277-nexus-tablet-techies/#findComment-720319 Share on other sites More sharing options...
right-clicking Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Is the TV smart? If so use wi-fi, no need to buy any cables!! Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/41277-nexus-tablet-techies/#findComment-720426 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voyageur Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 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.

Jeremy Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 I believe the 2013 version will connect directly as voyageur/townleygreen/edpete describe. The 2012 version will not.

ruffers Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 You might be able to do it with a Chromecast and a bit of messinghttp://www.androidcentral.com/google-announces-new-apps-local-content-streaming-chromecastChromecasts will be available in UK from March.

With no joyI have purchased a lead from amazon which when connected via HDMI mirrors what's on theTablet. So can now watch films from show box, and others.Once again thanks for the advise.
