Connecting phone to TV (as in television, not tow vehicle)

I download the programs to my Android phone. I use Miracast to sent the movie to the TV. You purchase a Miracast dongle that connects to the TV. The phone has it built in. It uses a standard called "WiFi direct" but you are not using any connection to the internet to stream. There is a lot of information about how it works on the web.

You can use it on your phone, or tablet. I have used the phone and it works great. You can move the dongle between TVs so I can move it from the front TV to the back one.
