Casting (Mirroring Android Tablet) to TV HDMI port

I struggled with this for a while and wasted money on some different devices such as a Chromecast which were failures.

By accident I discovered Samsung Smart View which is only available to download for a limited time. It will soon be discontinued but will still work if you get it now.

I then link my tablet with my Fire Stick. Go to settings, display and sounds, and click on "Enable Display Mirroring. Open Smart View on your tablet and make the connection.

I download shows when internet is available and then play them on the television later.

Chromecast needs access to a router and your tablet the same router.

NOW.. in some cases (if the tablet has it's own cellular account and sim card) the tablet may well be the router

Else your phone may do it
NOTE that unless you tame it Chromecase Eats bandwidth (not all that fast but it eats it) it has a screensaver mode that is a slidshow.. downloaded slides, not stored on board.. TURN that off.

There is a smart view setting on your Android device (mine is a Galaxy S8) that is for casting. It does not need chromecast.

There's lots of info on a google search. Almost all TVs are now wifi enabled, and cheap, and can use your own wifi signal if you have a hotspot.

I think the tv and the phone have to be compatable for wireless. I do have a cable i can plug in the phone and to an hdmi on the tv. My tv isnt internet or bluetooth ready in the TT.
