Just wanted to let everyone know that Slingplayer for tablets is half off. Regularly priced 29.99, now priced at 14.99. Looks great on my Nexus 7 and Xoom. Quality and controls way better than the phone version. Good way to spend some of your 25.00 Google Play dough.

I really need to bite the bullet and buy a Sling box. I watch only 3 channels though :silly:
Definitely worth it if you love sports. NHL package on the go

Dish (which owns sling now) dropped AMC so I won't buy this. Even at $15 it seems too much, on top of this I read elsewhere that its restricted to one device. Can't be installed other Andoid devices.

I can't speak for the Tablet version, but I have the Phone version installed on multiple Android devices.

What you can't do is watch on multiple devices simultaneously. No other restrictions at least AFAIK.
The tablet version works very nicely on my new Nexus. But I'm glad for the Play Store credit + sale.
I hate that I've already payed for my SlingBox and still have to pay for an app. An expensive one at that.

Ah. Gotcha. -- I only have a single SlingBox PRO-HD so I never ran into a condition trying to use the application on multiple devices simultaneously.
I just purchased the Tablet version too with the Play Store Credit. Works great on the N7!

Glad I got my Slingbox for FREE!!! I haven't used it in months, but I may have to try it out again. I'm usually always home, so I don't need to use it much...I might even actually buy the app for $15, I didn't buy it at $30...haha

I'm sorry, I dont subscribe to the "I dont know or recognize that brand name so it must be generic" train of thought. If that were the case I'd have never rcvd the sweet white carbon fiber battery cover I just got since it doesnt even have a name brand. Moral of the story, dont knock it till you try it

I'd have to agree with that. But most of if not all of those same accessories ship from Hong Kong too...everything ordered from the site I posted might cost a few bucks more, but they're shipped from the USA and arrive much faster. To some, that's worth the few extra bucks spent.

I am always willing to pay a little extra to get it from the states. I order stuff because I want it now, not in 3 weeks. I have my eBay app set up to show only US sellers for that reason alone. I know it's all the same stuff. I contacted Amazon about putting that feature into their app twice, with no response

Thanks for the reply!
About Effing time Samsung gets this released. And I'm guessing it's gonna be another 3 months before they release the wireless charger, Dock/Cable to simultaneously use MHL and other OTG and the UK release of the MHL adapter tip, I mean massive Firmware delays is typical and expected from Samsung but just don't get why they delaying accessories.
I've been reading that it doesn't generate 1080p even though it says it does...it only outputs in 720p...I heard its very laggy at times...and people were quite disappointed with it...sorry to rain on your parade...

Demonstration
Works in 1080p
Its works in Full HD contrary to reports on here. It does have a noticable delay of about 1 second so not sure if it will be useful for gaming, but for internet browing, movie watching or productivity use it could be ideal.
I didn't order from mobilefun because I found a much cheaper price than them.
Just ordered mine last night from handtec.co.uk so hopefully see what it's all about tomorrow.
Not sure whether a UK dongle will work with the US TV system. Otherwise, I will order one from UK.
Can anybody confirm if this is the real deal??

Can anyone tell me if this will work with cm10
Sent from my GT-I9300
To clarify for others. The dongle does need a power supply. It comes with one. It also includes an HDMI cable. You can have mutliple dongles on TVs around the house and the phone lets you choose which one you connect to. However, at this time, you cannot label the dongles with a nice name like "Living Room" and have to use the pre-determined name with numbers instead.
There is some lag depending on the quality of the connection with the phone. You would not want to play FPS with this. I would say the lag was around 100-150ms. Fast panning/moving can result in some visible compression artifacts. Its behaviour seems identical to the HTC Media Link technology. One does not appear better than the other here.
The dongle DOES support 1080p, but the S3 does NOT. This means you will not see anything above 720p. The dongle acts as a mirror of the 720 line phone display EXCEPT when you are playing a video. For video, the phone displays a very dim "Allshare" logo on a black background. You can bring up a video slider to rewind/fast-forward etc but the video itself is only displayed on the TV. Despite having the separate video feed, it is still locked to 720. HTC originally had the idea that you could surf on the phone, check emails while playing a video, but this never actually worked. Samsung haven't even tried to do this...pressing the home button cuts the video feed and returns to mirroring.
My concern is if you play a 90 minute movie like this, will there be screen burn due to the permanent but very dim "Allshare" logo displayed on the screen. There is no way to switch this display off when playing a video. Perhaps because its so dim it doesn't matter, but it seems odd to me.
Really need some help here please, i do not have a allshare cast app in my app drawer, only something called allshare play which just force closes saying application not executed properly. Im running jellybean and not ics. Could somebody help me please. Thanks.

allshare Cast Hub
Did someone knew how to connected PC via WiFi with this module?
You could get two 'android on stick' mini usb computers for that price and they'd do essentially the same thing. Seems like a bit of a rip-off to me

I know this has been mentioned before, and we sound like a broke record. But in my frustration I must say this again.
It's impossible to find any Samsung accessories on any online retailers besides eBay at outrageous prices.
Been trying to find the HDMI MHL adapter: 3PHPBEGXAR
For the Note 10.1, and after 10 pages on Google full of retailers that are OUT OF STOCK, it's clear Samsung has no intention of making customer's happy after their initial purchase.
Even Asus, a much smaller company has made their accessories available at my local retailer at a good price let alone online.
This is unacceptable.
Could be. Try here. I just got my book cover from them.

Send it to my business and I will forward it to you.
PM me if you would like to. You pay the exact shipping nothing else. Just trying to help.
Thanks for the offer. Appreciate the kind gesture. I decided to order the Tab 7 dock instead, on Amazon. $27 shipped to Canada.
XDA Users report it also works for the Note 10.1
CostCaption has some rather hideous ratings on http://www.resellerratings.com/store/view/CostCaptain/page/2
I'd be careful before ordering from them, especially if the product has to take detour first.

I have the tab dock and it works perfect. Glad you got it sorted. You will like it! It's pretty cool, I have a bluetooth keyboard/mouse by ianker and its amazing.

I totally agree, its soooo hard to find accesories for note 10.1. It would be great if they do something on this area coz i really love my note.
Sent from my GT-N8000 using XDA Premium HD app
+1 scandalous pricing for the HDMI cable and still not dedicated HDMI / MEDIA Dock, Apple are expensive but at least the gear is available. SAMSUNG FAIL. I've order the tab7 dock to, looking forward to my little DIY project.
What tab 7 dock are you guys talking about. The ones I've seem have corners that would prevent the note 10.1 from fitting
just bought a All in One card reader, CF, Sd, MS, microSD, for the galaxyTab... works fine on Note10.1
bought it at the market in Vietnam for 10$ ^^ No offical accesoir tough.
Dude, if you register your device on Samsung's website, they send you a 50%-off code. I got the $99.00 AllShare Cast Media Hub for 49.00 & the desktop dock for like $15.00. I also picked up a navigation mount with USB auto charger for the GS3 for $10.00 (nicest nav dock I've seen in awhile, very solid.). You can use it for up to ten items on Sammy's accessories on their website.

Anybody have one or planning on getting one? I'm kinda bummed I'll have to get another one (already have MHL) dumb competing standards. The few available on Amazon seem overpriced (in the $30 range) for a chunk of plastic and some wire.
Buy the one from analogix. That is the official one and it does cost $30. It is pricy when compared to regular MHL adaptors, but its worth it if you plan on using it.

What the cable gets you that the chromecast doesn't is direct streaming of content. chromecast does not currently support file playback through gallery. All direct streaming from the device (not from the internet) is "beta"
So say you want to play an MP4 file, you'd need this

i debate turning back to wires like this when i do enjoy what my chromecast does while also having hopes for the wireless display option to be 1:1 for all functions
I didn't even notice the port was not MHL. What nincompoop opted to go with this rather than MHL? Maybe I don't know something I should here, but hasn't MHL been around for a couple years now? And is there anything allegedly superior about slimport that would make it desirable over MHL?
This is just a little disappointing to me because both of my Samsung phones use MHL and at this point my backpack is already the subject of Guantanamo style field stripping every time I fly international.

Since its Nexus line, Google would follow what they did with the N4. Why don't you just check it?
MyDP (SlimPort) adapters are appearing on eBay for less than $20USD which I think is pretty good value. SlimPort has some clear advantages over MHL (scaling/no need to have charger plugged in etc).

Haha no worries. That's true. It will take a long time to arrive. They've just been really hard to get even through Asia so just thought I'd let people know since I came across them. Thanks.
I'm looking for one too. Even the one on ebay cost around $20 from china. Not counting waiting for over a month for it. Bought more than a few items from china, and only about 50% of them ever work.
Just be careful with the non analogical brand slimport adaptors. People from the N4 were having problems with certain ones. You can check in the N4 accessories thread as there is more information about them there.
I can confirm that the official one works perfect.
