Streaming from iPad through tv?

DriversEd · 2013-04-15 22:45:35

I want to watch tv series from an online source through my iPad, on the tv. Can I do this? The tv has no USB ports but spare hdmi ports. What do I need, hardware and software wise? Thanks, Ed

Or you can get a HDMI adaptor either in Apple or on EBay

With those cables costing 39 you should consider getting an apple TV, I know its 109 but it offers a lot of extra features.

There's no USB support on an Apple TV tho. I've an old desktop plugged into my tv and would replace it in a heartbeat with an Apple TV that could support USB drives for videos files
