Options for streaming movies to tv?

[alfienoakes]

Hi
Got a few movies on my sd card and I'd like to play them on my tv.

I'm thinking of a slimport and hdmi cable (about ?12 and ?5 from amazon) which I think will do the job.

Are there any other better options to consider?

thanks, alfie

Chromecast?

Chromecast?

as far I know it doesn't allow streaming of my own videos and more crucially, not available in uk

You can use an app called AllCast. It requires that you have a media player but appears to support the majority of them; AppleTV, Roku, WDTV, Xbox360, etc. Have not used it so can't comment on the success of it.

The media player app Avia supports chromecast. The app itself is free but you have to pay $3 for the chromecast feature.

Miracast might be an option as well
