bb4,

 

They are correct, only Digital Rights Management (DRM) free / unprotected content can be viewed via this method.  So files on your device like videos or pictures you've recorded with the device camera/recorder would be the type of files you could view on your external HDMI device using a compatible HDMI cable.  

 

The following file formats are supported.

  • H.263
  • H.264
  • MPEG-4
  • WAV 

Hope I've answered any concerns or questions you may have regarding this subject!

From what I understand only DRM free files are supported with the HDMI out feature. The movies from Blockbuster will have DRM (Digital Rights Management) protection.

I'm most definitely NOT a VZW employee. If a post answered your question, please mark it as the answer.

There is a reason for the DRM protection.

The rest of my thoughts are staying silent.
