Exciting stuff, cannot answer whether it'll work or not :/

Will not work, because nexus 7 do not support MHL

Jellybean will support Miracast which can stream to your TV or other device.
It's new to me but looks interesting and could do away with HDMI.

That is the SlimPort adapter that the Nexus 4 has. It required hardware to be used, that we don't have. So it will most likely not work.

It's definitely the best thing going for the money you pay. Smoother than an ipad too!
It is the best tablet you can buy. You probably read about screen lift issue, well dont bother about this, every tablet has issue when it release first. and Anyway, it is fixed by now All new built device has this issue fixed (this apply to some C8O and C9O Model Number and up )

Plays 99.9% of games super smooth:good:. N.O.V.A. 3 is the only game that lags on the nexus 7, but that's Gameloft's fault.

I am interested in this, can you explain more on your setup. What is the DL-165?. An asus docking station? There is a USB to HDMI video converter for sale in the fry's add today for only $12.99 that uses a displaylink driver.

DL-165 is a chip type of DisplayLink Adapter, known supported devices are DL-125,160,165 based devices.
That adapter costs me $30. Currently this is not suitable for daily use because it is too slow (1fps), I'm working on it.

[Q] Can the G2 mirror out to an HDTV?

I posted this question in general and then realized there was a Q&A section. My fault...So can you mirror out to an HDTV with MHL, Slimport ect?
I'm not looking to stream anything like Netflix or Youtube but actually mirror whats going on with my phone to a big screen. Specifically using it for golf instruction with the V1 app. Thanks a lot for any answers

Supposed to via slimport only....
im using the analogix slimport adapter and it mirrors EVERYTHING off the G2 works flawless they are about 30 bucks on ebay
I'm trying find a gadget that will mirror my phone to some RCA jacks. Can someone point me in the right direction.
Basically my car has a monitor that would display anything that's being put into RCA jack in the center console.
How would I go about this?

You'd basically be looking to take a Slimport adapter to get it form the phone, to HDMI. Then use another to give you RCA outs, like this one:
Search Amazon for: Etekcity® HDMI to AV Composite RCA CVBS Video + Audio Converter For TV PS3 VHS VCR DVD
Hope you've got some good room to hide wires.

Just with my philips tv built in miracast function

miracast / projection feature

One the reasons I bought the Kindle was because of I believe it's called miracast where you can project your tablet onto your tv. What ever happened to it? Or is there something else I can do?

I forgot Android app Twonky works also, but I had problems Beaming Mythtv HD file to my SD tv. It worked otherwise.
AllCast is also an alternative if you have a roku or apple TV. I have tested it on both and movies play flawlessly. It also supports viewing pictures and streaming music.

You guys know of anything that'll work with xbox?
PlayOn works with Xbox for streaming . http://www.playon.tv/supported-devices
The miracast adapters above are needed to do full second screen mirroring. Hopefully Roku will update their device soon to allow it as well.

Yeah, personally, I'd stay away from the "HDX Certified" Netgear Push2TV device. It is utter rubish. All kinds of resolution issues (you can fix with an app, but still, shouldn't have too) & the audio is marginal at best. I have an Onkyo TX5010-NR, which is one of the baddest receivers around (& I've tested/owned lots). Chromecast will support 5.1 Dolby & PCM, so will numerous other options, including SlimPort (I have an HDMI 1.4b certified SlimPort/MyDP dongle) which also works flawlessly in regards to audio, even up to 8 channels. The NetGear HDX Certified device though only outputs 2.0 PCM. It's watchable, but nowhere near as enjoyable as other devices.

Miracast dongle?

So I'm intrigued with the miracast dongles but I don't want to spend a fortune on it. I was wondering if anyone has had any luck with them. Also hoping to not spend more than $40 on it. I'm running the Nexus 5 Experience which is CM11 and it seems to support it.
Any thoughts are greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Chromecast dongle. $35. Allcast from Koush and a Chromecast dongle. I can show pictures and movies from my phone.

From what I understand is that Chromecast won't let me mirror my phone to the TV which is what I'm looking for. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Allcast allows you to do just that. Also, I think there's an app called mirror also by Koush that allows you to stream that onto an apple tv

Could you please explain how to mirror your android phone to the TV like a miracast dongle would. I purchased a chromecast and so far I am unsuccessful in mirroring whatever is on my phone to the TV. I looked up the Koush beta and it only works for the NEXUS 5...
You can't mirror at this point. But you can play videos and music from your device and stream them to your TV. Koush working on mirroring for all devices.
You can also use Allcast to stream to any dnla device like Roku, XBox PS4.
