Re: TV out on the Iphone

Got my component and composite ones from Amazon :

APPLE MB128ZA/B Component AV Cable: Amazon.co.uk: Electronics & Photo

IPHONE 3G / IPOD COMPOSITE AV USB CABLE WITH DOCK: Amazon.co.uk: Electronics & Photo

The composite was a bargain (I thought) for £9 with free shipping. Got this for when I'm travelling as most TV's will have this input.

The component works out about £18 with postage. Got this for home for the superior picture quality.

By the way, the composite has the "not designed to work with iPhone" thing where it tries to put it in airplane mode but it plays with a bit of fiddling.

Re: TV out on the Iphone

I don't think you can use TV out with the slingplayer app, just iPod videos.

Can anyone confirm if this statement is true please? I was thinking of getting one to use with the forthcoming Sky TV by wifi app.

Re: TV out on the Iphone

Is there actually a Sky Player app in the works then? That would be all kinds of awesome, but I've not heard anything about it...

Re: TV out on the Iphone

This is the one I got NEW USB Charger AV Cable to TV for Apple iPod iPhone 3G on eBay (end time 02-Nov-09 15:16:05 GMT)

I've just tried it for the first time and can confirm it doesn't work with the sling app I'm only getting audio

Re: TV out on the Iphone

iPod / iPhone TV out cables only work with Photos and iPod Video. But if jailbroken there are a couple of apps that support full TV out function. TVout and ScreenSplitr both available from BigBoss repo on Cydia.

Re: TV out on the Iphone

That's pretty awesome. Shame it's a seperate subscription though, I was hoping an iPhone version of the Sky Player would come along
