Streaming to TV from Cell Phone
Not sure if this has been a topic before or not and this is something I have never tried before but when out camping does anyone ever stream TV from their cell phones to their NON SmartTV in the trail...

Some depends upon how "not smart" your TV is. What connections do you have behind the TV and how are you watching TV now? Is there a free HDMI port? Do you currently connect satellite TV or a DVD?
The next most important is what kind of data plan do you have on your phone. Data is generally not cheap for large packages necessary for a lot of streaming. Most 4G "unlimited" plans are limited to a certain amount unlimited data and then your speeds can be slowed enough to make streaming pretty tough.
I have an HDMI available to use and a DVD player connected through the AV connections and currently just use over the air when available with the antenna. I have 3 phones each with the highest unlimited data plans Verizon has and honestly may only use this an hour or 2 a day 3 to 4 days a month so it won't be a highly frequent thing we do.
