I searched for this but couldn't find an answer on XDA, is there a way or an app to be able to get the content off of your dvr onto your phone?
As far as I know there is no way to do this yet. (I have to use a capture card to pull anything off my DVR). I have heard rumors for months now that at some point Directv wil have an app to stream your DVR recordings but I have yet to see it.
I believe dish network can do this if you buy a sling player dvr add on ($100)and the mobile app. You can also stream live TV.

Ok so since our TV out doesn't work, is it possible to create an app that uses DLNA to put the Epic screen onto the TV or Computer?
I don't know much at all about formats and conversions, and am generally confused about the complexity in that area, but this doesn't seem too hard an idea to create.
Can it even be done for my computer? use the DLNA/wireless to put my laptop screen on my tv?
Don't think so.
DLNA servers usually just serve up files to a DLNA client. It doesn't change the file in anyway. To sum it up in short - it streams the actual file as if you were reading it locally, but only the file itself - not the output of the file.
Example, if I have an MKV video file hosted on my DLNA server (my PC), my DLNA client on my PlayStation 3 can't play it since it doesn't support MKV even though my PC does.
Think of DLNA as a way to file share content from your phone to your DLNA capable TV. What it does not do is export your mobile screen to your TV.
DLNA stream
I have been doing some testing on my DHD and it seems that its the phone that streams the content through DLNA to the TV. If there was a way to convert the mobile screen output to video stream there might yet be hope.
... Allshare? Anyone? No? Ooookay.

Allshare thats native is a tad "picky"
Twonky Server mobile(the free one not the pay) in the market however shares files beautifully to DLNA enabled devices.
But as states it's ONLY for sharing files, even with hdmi out you're only gonna get what it wnats, unlike a dsektop where it displays the desktop.
if you wanted to do it find a remote client that lets you "RDP" to the phone and have a computer hooked to the big screen.
theres really no advantage to displaying the desktop of the phone in this way. Can't see why it would even be an option.(or why anyone would want it)
Yes

In linux(X11) i think it could be pretty straight forward, since you should be able to point the dlna TV to a file created by x11 with the output of the screen.. I dont know how the screen capture process is in android, and not at all in windows, but it is possible, though performance may suffer.. Im want to write an app for android with this, but i wont right it atm.

I downloaded movies and tv shows using samsungs media hub and when trying to play them on my tv it says hdmi content blocked. the movie will only play on my phone and was wondering if there is a way to work around this.
wow! this is news to me
i do not know of any work around at this time, perhaps other guys might have better ideas.
If it were me.... I would download from market one of those Video Editor apps from the market, and the save the file as something else.
that might break the protection
*cough*you didn't hear that from me*cough*

Try freezing drm content protection with titanium backup. Freeze everything that says DRM. Let me know if it works.

That's pretty craptacular.
Let this be a lesson to all, yet another time, for anyone thinking about supporting any DRM-service with their money.
So ...
I know how to use dlna to stream videos pictures and music to play on my tv and I'm not interested in that
WHAT I DO WANT TO KNOW.
Is there a way to stream my phones actual content to my tv over DLNA ? Like I want to be able to come home, switch on dlna , and see my phone's homescreen on my tv and then open up a video game like Final Fantasy 7 and play it. All streamed to my tv of course.
In my opinion that is what would make DLNA awesome.
Everything I search just mentions how to stream my phones content to my tv ...I want to actually mirror my phone.
And don't mention the mhl adapter I have that and it is a hassle ....

What would be the most cost efficient way to wirelessly stream content such as my mlb.tv subscription from my phone to my tv (It is wifi enabled)?
Ive used apps like imediashare before for other things but i dont think itll work with the mlb at bat app.
thanks!
Only options i can think of off the top of my head are: Using what samsung designed for that specific purpos by using an all share cast dongle (~70$ on amazon) or hooking up a PC to your tv but that's kind of difficult to set up and most of the apps to view your phone from your PC are pretty laggy
Xbox 360 or PS3 if available I'd my suggestion
Have you tried twonky beam? Not sure if it would work but it looks like it might be something like what you need. It streams web videos.

All share cast dongle is your only solution. It works wonderfully too just wish it worked on aosp

Personally I'd just install Kodi and some plugins for live TV streams

Been there done that long time ago like iptv stalker add on etc I don't trust those add on and quality sucks. Thera are lots of iptv apps too with live TV and the quality sucks. Those add on kept my shield TV wake all nite so there is something going on may be using my Internet who knows that's why I stay away from those apps or addon. I also installed kodi for that reason

I have had my eye on this http://www.dlink.com.au/home-solutions/dsm-t100-portable-digital-tv-receiver you can plug your wired TV Arial into it just like a tv and apparently has the HD channels and a recording function, (according to description)
i know it has uk channels but not sure about other country's or if it even works with the shield, would be great if it did and linked in with Google's live channels app for android tv like app intends.
here is a youtube review of it (wont let me embed the video for some reason)
