Best Answer:I just bought the adapter today for my iPhone 4S with iOS 6.1.3. Apparently, the AFL and Telstra have blocked the live stream to TVs, rendering the cable useless to the app. All I get when I hook it up is sound without picture. So no, you cannot stream the video to your TV any more.

I see people asking if they could use a "dongle" with an iPad or iPad 2 WiFi (which I have). I did not understand the conversations, but I would like to know what is a dongle and if it might be of interest for me for my iPad 2.

AnswerSorry, but NO. Flixster does not allow playback through an external monitor due to what it calls "licensing issues"

Can this Apple Digital A/V cable be used to play video files tapped from a NAS (Network Access) Drive?
I am trying to find a way to play video home movies saved on a NAS drive and played on my Iphone 4 (via an app), to be viewed on a TV. I learned that just hooking a cable from the iphone to tv only plays movies saved on the internal memory of the Iphone, not from a separate drive.
Does this cable allow movie files to be played on a tv from a NAS drive? The description says the unit can "mirror" any video that is playing on the Iphone.- Asked by Don S from Lindenhurst

Can the Digital A/V Adapter be used to play home movies, saved on a NAS drive, onto a TV?
I have copied home movie video files from my PC to a NAS Drive. My Iphone 4 has an app to view these videos from the NAS Drive. Can this cable be used to play these NAS drive videos onto a tv set? Presently the only way to play these movies is if I sync them into the internal memory of the Iphone as a reular cable does not show files from this drive.

Why are people having problems with this product? Wanting to get it so I can watch downloaded tv shows from my ipad2 on my HDTV. Will it work??
Digital AV adaptor-can you guarantee it will work??

AnswerIf the dock connector isn't seated securely, you may experience a message saying "this accessory is not supported". Removing and reconnecting securely fixes this. Some cases and covers may make this challenging. Also, a few televisions may have HDMI compatibility issues, particularly if they're older. While the adapter is compatible with the vast majority of televisions on the market, everyone's setup is different.

Will this work backwards? I want to display something from my DSLR camera to my iPod touch via this cord.
Will this work backwards? I want to display something from my DSLR camera to my iPod touch via this cord. Exactly how this cord allows you to display whatever is on your iPhone/Ipod on your TV, will it allow whats being displayed on my DSLR camera (via the HDMI input on the camera) on my iPod touch or iPhone? When I attach my DSLR onto the camera rig used for filming, the rig doesn't allow view of the cameras screen so I would like to attach a secondary screen(the iPod or iPhone) and view it through there. I dont need any functionality when viewing it on the iPhone/iPad, all I need it to do is display what the camera is shooting. I don't need it to have any type of editing options or anything like that. Just be able to view essentially making it a screen and nothing else. Please advise!! Thank you!!

Is it possible to Watch live UK tv in spain with digital AV adaptor
I want to watch live UK tv via my i pad on tv in spain. Will the digital av adaptor be the answer.
I know i will need Expat shield or something loike it- Asked by Trevor J

AnswerYou need to set up a VPN connection.
.
It is easy to set up but you will need to subscribe to a service about £5 per month for UK only, or a tenner for a multinational set up of about 14 countries including UK & USA. Nearly all onlıne TV services check your IP Address to make sure you are in the same country so you have to get round this.
From what I have read all terrestial TV stations can be streamed through this adaptor but it does not work for Sky Channels.- Answered by Paul B

Use Composite AV cable and Digital AV Adapter cords together to get surround sound as well as 720p video quality?
So I was looking at purchasing the Digital AV Adapter that Apple provides in their store, so that I could connect myriad to my flat screen via HDMI to play movies in 720p (the max the cord apparently allows). I know that HDMI carries video as well as audio through so I would be able to play the movie audio though the TV itself... This is not what I want.
I want to play the audio through my surround sound system and I thought maybe combining the Composite AV cable also supplied by Apple would work? Has anyone tried this yet? There is a second 30-pin connection available on the Digital AV Adapter for charging the iPad and I thought maybe the Composite AV cord could connect to that and then directly to the surround sound just for the audio?
Thanks!- Asked by Colin M from Woodstock

AnswerI tried it thinking that this would offer a solution to my video/audio problems. I get the video, but still no audio. The composite av cables have great audio alone but the sound vanishes when plugged into the digital av adapter.
