Yes... but it doesn't seem to work well. I bought it for this purpose and it will only use a portion of the screen, and responds strangely to changing the orientation of the screen. Everything else seems to work fine so I don't think it's a problem with the HDMI adapter, this feature just seems to be restricted.

This does NOT fit in the "Lifeproof frē" case. The Lightning plug is slightly larger on the adapter I purchased yesterday (3/24/2015) than the Apple-branded Lightning-to-USB cord that comes with the phone. The socket on the bottom of the Lifeproof frē case is, unfortunately, sized to exactly fit the Apple-branded Lightning-to-USB cord.

Unless the port you are talking about is video capture I doubt it will work. Usually the port on a PC is output to a monitor. That's what this adapter does. Output.

TV HDMI is input. So you need an input port on you PC to see it.

NO, I wish you could do this! I have spent tones of time, and hours of hacking a Raspberry Pi in order to get this functionality to work and still its horrible.

All Apple has to do is allow the orientation of the apple TV to be changed to vertical and it will be freaking awesome!
if they add this simple feature then they will once again have change everything. people will be able to use apple TV as a signage device. or have vertical TVs as hanging picture frames in your home.

I can not believe they have not add this feature yet!
it is quite frustrating.


PLEASE APPLE ADD VERTICAL PORTRAIT ORIENTATION TO YOUR APPLE TVS!

Yes, if that AV receiver can handle audio over HDMI

I've tried the Xfinity streaming app and haven't gotten it to work yet. Some apps just won't mirror as far as I know. And I think this is one of them
