Apple Lightning to Digital AV Adapter

Works great and it allows you to watch anything from your iPhone on any TV that has a HDMI port! Some people on here say it doesn’t for some reason let you watch streaming apps (Netflix, Hulu, YouTube, or just any app that streams any video content) but it’s just simply not true! On any TV that has an HDMI port, which it’s insanely rare that you will even own or use a TV that does not have an HDMI port, you will 100% be able to watch anything on TV with this device that you can watch on your iPhone.I even watch DIRECTV through my DIRECTV app on any TV. It’s a must have especially in a place where there is not a internet connection like in rural areas or just any place with no internet.It just all depends on the type of service you get though if there is no internet connection. But, it all boils down to if you can watch it on your iPhone then you can watch it on a tv with this device. It just simply mirrors whatever is showing up on your iPhone screen. So, as soon as you plug it into your iPhone and then plug it into the TV you will immediately see whatever your screen on your iPhone is displaying!I take this with me every time I travel just Incase the hotel, vacation home, lakehouse, or anywhere that might not have internet, good Wi-Fi signal, or just Incase the place I’m at happens to loose internet service for a while or something? Just remember to invest in a lengthy hdmi cord so you can use it while you are in bed or sitting on the couch.If you do not want to buy a lengthy HDMI cord and you have two at your house then you can always buy an hdmi extension adapter to make two smaller hdmi cords just one longer hdmi cord to help reach wherever you are at. Buy, I highly recommend buying both (lengthy hdmi cord and extension adapter) so in case you go on a trip and the cord isn’t quit long enough you can just add another one from the place you are at, that is if they have another one?I bought a 15’, 20’, and even a 25’ hdmi cord and I have to say the 25’ cord is the one use the most because it’s never not long enough and I always can use the device while I’m in bed or wherever very comfortably.Lastly, since it has a charging port on it which is the best part I might add due to the battery consumption that streaming videos takes up on a phone. It is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT to buy a iPhone chargrging cord (usb to lightning cord) that is much longer than the standard iPhone charging cord. If you want to use the long hdmi cord to use it while in bed or on the couch and you don’t have it charging then it’s pointless to even use the long hdmi cord or even the device itself. You don’t want to be using this and then go out and your phone is almost dead or if you want to use the device to watch something on the tv and your phone is almost dead. My point is you never know where the outlets are going to be in a place you have never been and you are wanting to have it on the nightstand or just close to you so you don’t have to get up and go hit pause, play, or switch to something else to watch.I hope this was thorough enough and helps answer any questions some of you might have. But, I promise this plays any streaming app your tv so please do not listen to anyone saying that it doesn’t because they are for some reason lying or they just have no idea what they are talking about?!Alright, have a great day!!

This is an amazing little device - very simple and effective. The old versions of this device were cluncky, and it was hard to tell what they really were (chargers, composite cables, a hair ball of cables and a cube, etc.), and more importantly, how to use them. This version would make Steve Jobs proud.This product integrates with your existing stuff, use it on your phone to send/cast video to any device that takes input from an HDMI cable. It may help if I give a few examples on how we use this little gem. When on vacation, we use this, along with a spare HDMI cable, to bring movies on our phones as well as Netflix and Amazon prime to the hotel TV. Enough renting over priced movies from the hotel. The key to doing this is to take control of the TV from the hotel's network. I recommend finding the IP cable and unplug it, this will usually free up the TV, and allow you to change inputs. You obviously want HDMI 1 to allow it to cast what's on your phone. Be aware that Apple will cancel the feed if they think you're illegally projecting protected content (in this case you're not - you're just projecting content you have licensed to a larger screen). This review isn't about hacking TVs, but I'm quite good at it. I travel with a universal remote, access codes, and a couple of screwdrivers.We also use this product to cast movies, Netflix and Amazon prime onto our car's touch screen. My daughter has a new Homda HR-V and it accepts an HDMI cable. Connect this to you phone, connect an HDMI cable to this and you car's input, and you streaming video in seconds. A cool feature of this is that it has an input for a charging cable. This means you can charge your phone as you use it to cast video to your hotel, home TV or car touch screen.This newer product is so much more versatile, compact, and practical that the old versions (which I should state I loved). the old versions were great, but I really love this product! When you travel, throw this in the car along with a 3' HDMI cable and you'll have excellent flexibility in cast video. Many hotels are getting with technology and allow for use of these products. It's customer friendly, and prevents a maintenance call when the guy before you, hacks the rooms TV, and forgets to put the TV back when they checkout.I hope you found this review helpful!
