Connecting phone to TV (as in television, not tow vehicle)
In light of the conversation about controlling your RV from your phone, maybe now is not the time to ask this :-) But, I'm of the thought that if I want to truly disconnect, I'll tent camp.
My wife and I have shows on Netflix, Amazon Prime, etc. that we watch most nights at home.
We would like to be able to on some nights in our trailer. I have unlimited data on my phone, so I was thinking of using it. Netflix and Amazon Prime both allow downloading of shows in advance, so it might work without cell service.
I purchased a Chromecast, but didn't realize it needed a wifi network to connect to. I tried using my phone as a hotspot, but that only seems to work if I have cell service. I think I could add a cheap wifi router and it might work, but then I definitely couldn't use my phone to stream anything since I can'tconnect to both wifi and 4g. I could only watch downloadable items.
I also purchased a USB-C to HDMI adapter and that kinda works, but the sound is rather dim despite turning everything up on my phone. It at least works, though.
How do you all watch things like Netflix, etc, in your trailer when you have no wifi/cell service, and/or stream videos when you have cell service but no wifi?
