When I purchased my Thunderbolt I was disappointed not to find a HDMI port however, I was told that I could stream video to my TV I just needed some sort of wireless adapter.
Has anyone done this and if so what do I need to purchase?
Thanks in advance for your response.
Thanks to the community members for your valued input. Bigpatsfan, it depends on what kind of the TV you are connecting to your Thunderbolt if you need to purchase any additional items. I would recommend checking with the manufacture of your TV for information related to your TV. In most cases does need an adapter for it to work. The steps needed for setting up a DLNA connection to watch TV via your device are provided below. The sharing photos, videos, and music with a bigger circle of friends are easy on your home network all via DLNA®. For more information about DLNA, visit www.dlna.org.
Before you share media through your network:
1. Connect your phone to the network via Wi-Fi. To find out how to connect to a Wi-Fi network, see Wi-Fi
2. Connect the TV or speakers to the network.
3. From the main screen tap Menu.
4. Tap All Apps.
5. Tap Connected Media
6. Tap desired option to share: Music - Photos - Videos
7. Open the Gallery or Music app.
8. Locate the media that you want to share, and then tap it.
9. While viewing the photo or playing the video or music, press MENU, and then tap "Select player".
10. Choose the device on your network where you want to play the media.
11. Once connected to the other device, your phone opens up the Controller screen where you can tap the desired control.
To stop sharing your media, tap the On/Off icon to disconnect your phone from the other device. While playing a media on another device, you can press BACK and do other things on your phone. To return to the Controller screen, slide opens the Notifications panel, and then tap the device you’re connected to and there is more reference information available via the user manual available at this link.
