RE: Current options for Disney+ from cell/tablet to HDMI/digital out, to PJ

Posted by Doublej on November 9, 2022 at 05:24:39:
I am assuming you can't just use the Disney+ TV app on one of the mentioned devices. In either case it the same two boxes that you would use for the solution.

I would get an HDMI switcher with an optical output, An example is linked. Then you just need to get the signal from the phone to the switcher.

To do this, add a box that supports the wireless 'casting' protocol from your phone. The iPhone uses AirPlay or AirPlay 2 for casting. I would buy an Apple TV for this.

For Android phones, I think you would use the Miracast or Chromecast casting protocol. This is likely to be supported on Roku, Fire TV stick, Chromecast with Google TV, NVidia Shield, etc.
