Can TV Anywhere be cast to a TV?
 
I may be going into hospital soon and wondered if I could take my tablet with me and cast TV Anywhere onto their TV.

I've been told in another thread that BT Sport cannot, but what about the Full House channels and Sky Movies?

Cheers.

I thought anything could be cast now if you use chrome browser?

You just select 'cast entire screen' or whatever it's called.

Unlikely that the TV will have a WiFi connection. It would be heavy on the usage of data connection for your tablet.

If you're not bothered about the data connection, you might try a wired HDMI connection from your tablet. That's assuming your tablet and the hospital TV have HDMI connections. Then you would have to switch the TV to use the HDMI rather than Freeview.

Another option is to view films/programmes stored on the tablet.

Don't know about 'cast' but I connect my laptop and TV via an HDMI cable, to view SkySports from Sky Go. PQ is surprisingly good. Presumably you could do the same with TV Anywhere.

I think chrome is no longer compatible with tv anywhere

If the tv is capable can't you just use screen mirroring?

I think the best/most likely option could be a laptop and HDMI cable. If the TV is even set up in such a way you could have access.

As for data I used TV Anywhere in an NHS establishment and it wouldn't work over wifi without a trick.

Hospital tv I very much will be all singing and dancing but yes HDMI from laptop to tv is your best bet.
You cannot cast anything.
