Possible to "stream" live GT screen to TV using DLNA?

How cool it would be to show the GT screen on TV through DLNA.. why use the HDMI dock if this would be possible.
Does anyone feel up to take the challenge of making such an app?
I would pay for such an app...anyone ells?

The CPU overhead would make it virtually unusable even if it can be done.

I believe you can stream movies and such to DNLA compatible TVs...
Don't think you can stream just the home screen though...

Correct, I can use the Allshare to stream videos directly to my Samsung TV, and it works quite well. But it doesn't do the whole UI, essentially it's just pushing the datastream to the TV and the TV does the decoding/rendering, so the only overhead is the usual WiFi processing, plus a little for AllShare.
It's actually a fairly practical solution other than the relatively limited codec support, which is still surprisingly good (It'll play some .MKV files!)

Tab 10.1 and Samsung D7000 and D8000 TVs

If you guys havent heard you can link your GSII or Tab 10.1 to your D7000 or D8000 tv but I havent been able to find the app to do so. I believe its called Samsung Wireless Link. This allows you to mirror your TV on to your tablet. Anyone got this working or have more information about it?

This is the other app i have seen
Samsung Smart View
Apparently it is the same as the Samsung Touch Remote Control..
Did anyone who has a D800 Tv get the new touch remote with the tv or was it just a bog standard remote

I orginally bought the 55" D7000 on Amazon and it was defective. I returned it and bought the 46" D8000. I talked to a TV tech about the models and he claims the D8000 has significantly better black levels and was raving about the micro dimming plus blah blah... he also went on to say that on TV's smaller then 55" you wont notice much of a difference between the 7 and the 8 series. Since I was saving a bunch of money on the smaller size TV I went for the D8000. One thing I noticed is the D8000 does come with glasses which I didnt really need since I got the 3D Starter Kit bundle and Bluray Player for free through the Amazon promotion. I like the glasses that came with the D8000 better though and while I initially liked the bezel on the 7000 better I now really like the 8000 bezel. It's a very sweet TV I have it plugged into my router and I can stream 1080p mkv and mkv3d files no problem with no additional software/hardware needed. You just need some DLNA server software and your good to go. I can also stream 3D content from my Evo 3D to the TV via DLNA over wifi. Pretty cool. I'm hoping this new update for the Tab 10.1 with TouchWiz adds this mirroring capability that they talk about here: http://www.hdtvtest.co.uk/news/samsung-d8000-d7000-streaming-galaxy-201102221034.htm

They pulled the touch remote for the USA release. From what I hear its crap anyways although you can buy it separately if youd like. I LOVE the remote that it did come with however (both the 7 and the 8 came with the same remote)... I think you are on the other side of the pond though so it may come with the UE models, mines a UN. I read something about only the D8000 coming with the touch remote and only on the UE models. Could be BS though. The remote mine came with is a qwerty keyboard on one side, remote control on the other side. It's backlight which is great, I've never had a backlight remote before haha. I'm easily impressed I guess...

How to wireless connect to tv

Is it possible without the use of android beem or a hdmi cable or a google tv or nexus q to show my android to my tv?

It seems at this point you won't be able to mirror your device without some additional hardware/software combo. Google wants you to start a google hardware family, which isn't out of the question if the price of the Q comes down some and there's some functionality that makes it worth it.
As it is now though everything I have with a screen talks to everything else with a screen but its still a bit haphazard to serve media in any different direction.
Hope this makes sense lol!

Luckily my lg smart tv has dnla so can stream from macbook / nexus over WiFi to tv.

I only used my nexus 7 for like 2 days because I returned it due to battery problem and I didn't have enough time to check to stream to my smart TV (DNLA). My phone can stream to my smart TV (DNLA). I'm waiting for nexus 7 to be in stock again. In the mean time, how did you get your nexus 7 to stream to your smart TV?

How did you get your phone to stream to your smart TV over dnla? The only way I can see if using the All Share app, but that doesn't mirror the screen, basically I want to push my games on to the big screen if possible...

You can use either of these (available in play store) if your TV supports DLNA connection.
Twonky Mobile or BubbleUPnP

But isn't this the same as using Allshare (on the samsung s2)?
I am mainly looking to mirror the screen so I can play games etc on the big screen.

To do what you are saying requires a Mobile High Definition link ~ aka an MHL connection which in turn goes to the HDMI port on a TV. Earlier cables (Samsung Galaxy S) could connect to a VGA port on a TV.
Unfortunately the Nexus does not come with any MHL capability otherwise we would by now be hearing of an MHL cable that you attach to the power socket (as is done on Samsung devices).
DNLA only links media files, as in Music, Photo's and Video. For that you need dedicated software to stream which has already been mentioned above.

Isn't possible any app to catch on a Google TV device and vice versa kind sling box for androids devices?

Android is lacking here big time, apple has airplay through apple tv to show the screen on the tv and play games etc throught it, all wirelessly.
Android needs this... and fast!

VNC client and server apps exist, so if you want to display your screen on an android enabled TV you should be able to do it with VNC?

Its a WIFI enabled Smart TV I have... can use all share on s2 to share videos and music to it, but cannot mirror your screen, its something they need to resolve soon.

What can I do if my TV doesnt have DNLA, and the N7 doesnt support MHL.
Is there any other way? USB to VGA cable?

It's nothing to do with Android it's ASUS and Google who are lacking.....
You have the S2 and that can link direct to your TV using as you say Allshare and for anything else you would use an MHL adapter as the S2 has MHL built in.
If the Nexus had an Allshare alternative built in and DLNA support you would be able to show media files on your TV..... and again if the Nexus had MHL built in you would then be able to use an MHL adapter and mirror your Nexus screen with your TV.

I'm not talking about the nexus in particular I mean android as a whole needs some kind of solution or they are going to fall behind. Our should I say they'll never catch up on that regard. Can you point me to am mhl adapter to check out out

The only way Android would have it as a whole is if Google demanded all manufacturers ensured the MHL hardware specification be built within their devices and that simply is not going to happen.
MHL is not a prerequisite of Android it's an added extra that runs totally independent. Yes the iDevice has it which makes it sound like Android is lacking but the iDevice is just one manufacturer. Just as Samsung is a manufacturer and yes they have MHL built in their devices, so it would be wrong to compare Apple to Google in this shortcoming.
As to pointing you to an MHL adapter, you can find these easily in either ebay or Google. The trouble is though if you intend to use it with the Nexus 7 you will be wasting you money. As I have already said, the Nexus 7 does not have MHL capability so it would not be able to read an MHL adapter.

nexus 7 is miracast certified, and that's rolling out this fall. patience is a virtue... and/or a software update. -Ara

Sorry to double-post, but while we're on the subject, is it that we lack hardware to get mhl working or we need to program support into the existing setup and we could achieve mhl with a custom ROM. I can mhl off my phone (I think). -Ara

Unlike the lack of USB OTG (On-The-go) which is a simple software limitation (as rooting then using Stickmount allows complete access) MHL is different as it is a hardware limitation. Google obviously left this out (as they did with other ports such as MicroSD) to keep the costs down.

[Q] How Do You Screen Share like this?

In this Google Christmas video, at :32 seconds in, it show wireless screen sharing on the N4. How do you do that?
Thx
http://youtu.be/967nio2LF7s?t=32s

It's the built in features called Miracast. It's only compatible with other Miracast devices and I don't think there are many, if any TV's that support it right now.

Oh cool. Thanks. That feature would've come in handy on Christmas Eve when everyone wanted to Karaoke off YouTube. I ended up hooking up my MacBook Pro to the TV.

Yeah you have to buy a Miracast adapter or a TV with it built in. Alternatively, you can buy a Slimport HDMI and plug it onto your TV from that (~$30) http://www.amazon.com/SlimPort®-SP1...&qid=1356573162&sr=8-1&keywords=slimport+hdmi

It's not worth the trouble really. Just hook your laptop up as you did. Wireless display technology just isn't there yet.

It's new technology but it is there. http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/architecture-and-technology/intel-wireless-display.html
Pretty much all new laptops have that, the TV just needs a adapter or it built into the Tv.

Is there anyway to connect the s7 edge to tv with hdmi??

I am aware that samsung made some hardware changes so MHL dont work. But is there any workaround ? I wanna play my emulators on tv.

You can use a chrome cast with some plug-ins to cast your games to the TV. Google it for more info

My work around recomendation assuming u simply want to mirror ur screen to ur tv is going wireless. What i use is push2tv. I love it! I use it on my truck to watch movies n mainly for my daughter to watch toons. Mirror my screen, put youtube and its all set. One of my reasons for ditching apple.

Chromecast, but if you want something more general / doesn't require WIFI:

I ordered this. Cheap and free shipping.

Its still not good enough as wired though. I use HDMI cable when I travel abroad in hotels aånd places without wifi so I can play games on tv.
Not sure if this wifi streaming thing works on a hotel wifi. But its good for home use when I wanna play some retro games on emulators ok tv.

It requires a device that supports Miracast (or WiDi), which includes most smartphones and many laptops. This device turns any display with HDMI into one that supports Miracast (some newer TV's support this out of the box). Also I've heard there might be some lag, so it isn't the best for gaming.
