Cast screen on Sony Android TV ? - Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

IS it possible to cast/mirror my NExus 6P's entire display on my Sony AndroidTV ?
I press Cast from the QuickSettings, but I haven't seen my TV in the list of available devices! Ema I doing something wrong ? Isn't the fact that my Sony smart TV runs on Android TV OS means that it also supports Chromcast ? or do I still need a separate Chromcast dongle ?
Thanks

Miracast

Some miracast related questions here:
-can you mirror your display from phone A to phone B (especially useful to mirror your phone to your tablet for exemple) ? if yes: can you use the phone B in order to interract with phone A ?
-will Miracast technology be available on Gnexus? Nexus S? Nexus 7? (any 4.2 upgraded devices ?)
-what is the latency of miracast ? 50 ms ? 100ms ? 200ms ?
-how much will cost a chinese TV dongle ?

Bumping this because I'm interested in the answers also. In addition, here's one more general question:
- Anyone have any opinions in regards to the quality of Miracast versus Slimport (or MHL)?
I am also interested in answers to these questions. Also, will every device need a dongle? Will devices like the PS3 support it natively, or with an app? I've never used anything like this before. How is it implemented, as in how would you get mirroring working? A toggle?

Miracast is technically just software so to answer your questions, yes it's possible to mirror from a phone to another phone, and it's possibly that older devices can support it (That doesn't mean it will happen though, and of course there will be some hardware limitations making it harder if not impossible to implement on older devices)
I have no idea of latencies nor potential costs for dongles.
As for integration with other devices, just like how Samsung's allshare cast can be built into the TV for their own implementation, so could it theoretically be done for Miracast.
The difference is that Miracast is meant to be an open standard, whereas Allshare Cast, Airplay, etc. is proprietary and would not allow for example a LG source to connect to a Samsung receiver, or vice versa.
I hope they do something for Vizio TVs or for the PS3.

I'm curious as to how Miracast will be activated. Will it have to be per-app, as in iOS, or will there be a button in the Notifications / Quick Toggle area? Hopefully the latter, but I haven't managed to find any video or pictures showing how it's activated!

Universal Remote?

Looking for a remote I can use with my TV (not connected to the internet ) to control smile functions such as channel and volume up and down power and input. Is it possible to download one from the play store or side load one if there is none? I need it to work on a Samsung plasma tv.
I appreciate your help!
I don't believe the Nexus 7 has the required IR Transmitter to accomplish this. If, however, your TV supports Bluetooth, then it very well may be possible if your TV company has released an app to do this.

[Q] Sony remote pair

My Nexus Player somehow linked up to my Sony TV remote. Any idea how this happened? My Nexus Player remote unpairs constantly and I think that is the reason why.
Actually I fought a lot with my LG to get the tv's remote to pair with nexus, so my case was the other way around. It seems that in order to use the tv remote with the player I had to enable HDMI-CEC on my TV. This HDMI-CEC has different names on different tvs. For LG is Simplink, for Sony I believe it's Bravia Sync. If you disable this, I think the remote will not pair. However, there is a chance the the TV will not switch to Player input when casting a video. I have them both paired (nexus player remote and tv remote) and I have no problems.

Stream from android TV

Hi,
Is there a way to stream the android TV screen (I have a sony Bravia) to another android device or chromecast? I don't think this is possible, but is there a technical limitation?
Thanks

Recommended 4k or 2560x1440 monitor/TV I can mirrorlink my phone to easily

I know not all smart TVs have this option. Do I need to get a Samsung Smart TV? Right now I have a 55" 1080p samsung smart Tv but if I mirrorlink it the sides don't show because something from the QHD to 1080p conversion doesn't work right.
I have an old non smart TV (1920x1200) with an Amazon Firestick and Mirrorlink sees the firestick and I can mirrorlink through the firestick but it also doesn't show everything from my Tmobile Note 4 running Rapture ROM to the TV.
I'm looking for a TV or computer screen that will do a perfect mirrorlink from my note 4. I'd prefer a 4k that is known working with the note 4 as my next laptop will be 4k and I will use the tv/monitor as a 2nd monitor also.
Thanks
Does the rom have the build.prop edit to make mirrorlink work? Its to disable hdcp im pretty sure you can add it yourself
