Any iPhone AT&T users found a way to cast from their AT&T Watch TV app to the TV in their camper without an internet connection? Supposedly there's a way to do it using Google Chromecast via an in-house wifi or a hard-wired ethernet connection? Thanks!

I don't have AT&T but use an iPhone8. When we go camping I download whatever we want to watch from Prime onto my iPhone. You can keep a program at least 72 hours after you have started watching it, but you can keep them up to 30 days before you watch them.I bought an adapter for the iPhone that has an HDMI cable socket.iPhone adapter..There are cheaper ones on Amazon but a lot of reviews say they don't work. This one is from Apple and works fine for me.You start watching the downloaded/saved program on the phone and it can be watched on the TV once the HDMI is selected. I found that if you try to start watching with the cable already connected it gives an error message, but if you start it on the phone and then plug in the cable it works great! No need for internet/Wifi at all. We are loving the way we can take multiple programs and watch at our leisure.

I have the same for my andriod. Its called a dongel or something like that ,lol. It works.

Thanks for the replies.Good to know the iphone HDMI adapter works with Prime. From what I can gather it's blocked by all the other major streaming services like Hulu, ATT Watch TV, etc.We used to pay $7 a month to activate our Dish receiver in our camper when we had a Dish home account. Unfortunately, when we cancelled Dish and went with Hulu (a big improvement BTW) we now have to pay $55 a mo. to activate our camper receiver even if we only need it for a 2-3 days--it's no longer pro-rated.Since we have free, unlimited streaming of ATT Watch TV on our iphones, it would be really nice to mirror this to our TV in our camper.

From what I can gather it's blocked by all the other major streaming services like Hulu, ATT Watch TV, etc.It is usually blocked on them, which is why the only proven one to work (I know, as I have one)is the Apple one I linked to. Now I admit, I have only used Prime on mine, so can't speak for the others. :)It still does act like it's blocked if you connect to the TV and then try to start a video. It gives you an error message. I get around that by starting the video on the phone and then plugging in the lightning connector from the 'dongle'. Works every time.Hope this helps.

Not sure about the watch. But you should be able to use Chromecast on your TV to cast from any compatible app on your phone as long as you are on the same wifi router/connection.
