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

AnswerSorry, but NO. Flixster does not allow playback through an external monitor due to what it calls "licensing issues"
One of the reasons I ditched Flixster.- Answered by Matthew H

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.

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

I have a Microvison ShowWX+hdm1 will this work?
I have a iphone for and a ipad 3. I can use the projector to project videos and pictures but want to be able to project the entire screen. it connects to the projector using its own style connection at the unit but a iphone/ipad connecter to connect to the device. If I buy this connecter can I plug it into the extra port used for charging? I can buy a vga connector for the microvision but was hoping to only buy one connecter so I could use it on my tv as well. thanks

Does this output a mirror image of the iPad 2 screen or just certain apps?
Because i currently own the previous AV Cable, which allows only certain apps to appear on the tv screen such as youtube, netflix, and vevo. Does this new AV Cable allow you to see whatever is on your ipad such as the abc player app or the abc family app and see what exactly is on your ipad screen on a much larger screen.
