Those anyone with a Mhl hook up to the Nexus 7 2013 actually charges while connected?

The Nexus 7 2013 uses SlimPort, not MHL. Don't own an adapter though. I've read some people having issues getting a signal out while for others everything works fine, including charging.

Anyone know if this will work out of the box with the GN? If not would it just require new software or is it hardware incompatible?

I would really love to use this thing if anyone has any idea.

If you mean a basic micro USB dock (like the one here) there's no reason it wouldn't work.

Specifically I mean this one. I like the USB connections and HDMI out. I know that the GN supports MHL and USB host, I just don't know if it all works at once.

I already have one but whilst it works fine with my Nexus 7 it doesn't work with my Galaxy S3, when I plug it in and also my Samsung portable HDD and stickmount pro it appears to recognise the HDD but i cant view my files so I'm thinking it must be a case of the OTG cable isn't compatible with the Galaxy S3, so I'm wondering if you folks can recommend one for me that works fine.
Thanks

EDIT
The OTG cable works now with my Galaxy S3, just out of curiosity I flashed Siyah kernel again as I remember reading something about ntfs, plugged the HDD in, clicked on stickmount and low and behold I can see all my music, photos, files, etc so I'm delighted the cheap otg cable I bought on Amazon works with both my Galaxy S3 and Nexus 7

The old Nexus 7 didn't support Slimport or MHL.
MHL and Slimport are two competing standards (incompatible between them) to deliver HDMI video via the micro USB connector. First gen Nexus 7 did not have any of them (so no video out whatsoever). Nexus 7-2 implements Slimport (looks like Google chose this side). Many smartphones support MHL (the other standard). Your MHL adapter will not work on Nexus 7-2 or Nexus 4.
I don't know if there is a specific micro usb cable to hdmi convertor that I need to get in order to play my Nexus 7 to my tv. I don't remember if I read correctly, but I think I remember there being an article saying the Nexus 7 has a difference in its build, in which it needs a specific device to connect itself to an HDMI tv. Not sure though. If anyone has any recommendations, I would appreciate it. I am basically only trying to look at these avi files on my tablet to a tv.
Think all you need is a MHL adapter

Thanks, alright I just bought one at this link if anyone else looking wants to see what to get. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ECU3M22/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
MHL won't work with the Nexus 7(2013). The slim port cable you ordered should work though.
Funny how I gave him the wrong item and he still managed to order the right one

You need a Slimport adapter (Not MHL which is a different competing technology!). Or get a Miracast adapter there are dongles , and use wireless access).
Unless you're running a CyanogenMod 10.2 build in which case, the
Slimport to HDMI function is not yet supported or working.

I use Netgear Push2TV PTV3000 to connect my N7 wirelessly to TV. It works pretty well. You may also want to install iMediaShare app from Google Play store on your N7 for streaming local and online content once connected to your TV.

You can also have a look to Minix Neo X5.
I've got one and it works fine with the Nexus 7 2013 on TV :good:
I hook up my nexus 7 with cable matter slimport adapter and it works for a minute and then cuts out and TV stops detecting it. Tried 2 TV 3 HDMI cables.

I'm having the same issue (same slimport adapter) with my LG G2. Did you ever get this resolved?
