  Buy a Chromecast.  They are cheap and you can stream a lot to it.  Almost turns the tv into a smart tv.

    Do you know how heavy the Hot Spot data gets hit when using Chromecast to watch a typical 2 hr. movie? Can Chromecast play movies, already downloaded on the phone, by tethering a cable from the phone to the Hd T.V.? Can it be done without using the phones data or the Hot Spot data?

         Have you heard of the "Screenbeam,Mini2"? I saw it on a U-Tube video comparing it to the Chromecast. It sounds promising.

      Hey there I use a Chrome Cast at my home but you have to have a Wi-Fi network in your home in order for your phone to communicate with your Chrome Cast. If you are streaming a file you already have on your device to the Chrome Cast, it will not use mobile data but rather just the Wi-LAN of your home network to transmit the data. If you are streaming something and your phone is connected to Wi-Fi, the data used to stream the content will count towards your home ISP since your phone is connected to Wi-Fi.

  I've been studying up on Chromecast and it's data usage. Will it burn data if I watch a movie/Video from my sd card.
