    I've been told you can buy a cable that runs into any HD TV from an I-phone and sends the picture from the I-phone to the TV?

    So you can watch movies, 4OD, Youtube etc etc or what ever is on your i-phone.

    Is this true?

    And if it is, were can I buy one?

    You're probably thinking of this:

    You still need an HDMI cable to your TV by the way... any cheap one will do though.

    You can buy the adapter from Apple, CompuB, PC World, HMVs that sell Apple stuff and other places...

    You should also note that certain apps (SkyGo I think for example) block the TV output and won't allow you to view content on the TV. And if you want to "mirror" the actual iPhone interface, you need an iPhone 4S or be jailbroken.

    Most video playing apps support TV out at 720p - e.g Plex, GoodPlayer, etc. Some games do (like Real Racing 2), other apps like SlingPlayer - it entirely depends on the app. Like I said, some apps like SkyGo have artificial restrictions, so won't output.

    If you jailbreak the phone (very easy with an iPhone 4 TBH), you can buy an app from Cydia called DisplayOut, which will let you mirror the entire interface of the phone, so pretty much everything will display on the TV.

    If you have an iPad 2 or iPhone 4S, for the most part, yes, everything will mirror on the TV (except for the apps that artificially restrict this like SkyGo mentioned above).

    If you have an iPad or iPhone 4, jailbreaking and using DisplayOut is probably your best option, as mentioned above and will let you mirror pretty much everything you see on your device.

    If you have an older iPhone or iPod Touch, the HDMI adapter will simply not work...
