AC Question

Hi there,

I have an USB OTG cable for quite a while now, though I've just started playing around with it (connecting guitar to it, or a USB hub and using four different devices at the same time). I have an Alcatel OneTouch Pixi 3 10 tablet, so only one microUSB port.

I saw that you can also cast it to the TV with and HDMI adapter, however I didn't quite find exact answer to whether you can use it on a TV with USB devices at the same time (like connecting to a wired controller to it and play as a console). So my question is: can I, and if so, can you give me a low-budget option? I found a lot of MHL adapters for quite low price, however I also read that the microUSB port on those works as the power supply of it, not as another port.

Thank you in advance,
