Ok im looking for a app that will allow specifically mirroring anything on an android homescreen to my hdtv "thru Apple tv"
The catch is if u use an apple device with apple tv it actually truly mirrors what you see to the tv My goal is to steam my streaming vidoes from my browser and bookmarked sites from my s3 to my tv thru apple tv
This Isharemedia only lets u pick channels and vid picture folders this is not like real mirroring.
What other options are there without having to go buy samsungs version of the apple tv

Update: since no one gave a response , I forked over the money for a Samsung all share hub and noe my Apple tv which could of been used I'm sure with an app is now useless .
If anyone knows a way to get true mirroring from s3 to HDTV using Apple TV as a middle man let me know

I don't know of an app. But knowing Apple, that mirroring will only work with Apple devices. Because it's Apple and that's how they do things.
I had to jailbreak mine just so I didn't need to use iTunes to use the device. There were other benefits as well, like playing mkv files.
Not totally true theres a few apps in android market like imediashare that allow function from android to hd tv using apple tv as the server but its just channels to pick from not really a true mirroring, but as I clearly explained I was looking for more of a straight forward mirroring effect like apple tv airplay does for apple and how allshare cast hub mirrors for Samsung
My thoughts were what app or options are there for the two variants to work with eachother for mirroring Android device going through AN APPLE TV to get to your hdtv

I have a Samsung galaxy tab 3 10.1. There is no screen cast software or screen mirroring built in. Does any one know of any way i can share my screen through my xbox 360 or ps3. I like to stream films, and i cannot find an app to link them up and still have the video streaming. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks all

There is no app that would let you stream your screen to an Xbox or ps3

If you want to stream films I beleive Plex with a (paid) plex pass will let your stream movies from your Tab to an xbox. I stream from my tab to my computer and TV. I quick searched and saw there is a Plex for XBOX 360 and One.
Ok. Thanks a lot guys. How rubbish is that though. It seems they have taken steps backwards with the tabs. I seen that plex, and seen you had to pay. Might as well get a usb to hdmi cable. Ahh well. Back to the drawing board. Thanks aagain

I'm on the tab 3.0 and I use Allcast with Xbox One but I'm not sure about the 360. Just pointing out the app I use if you would like to see if the 360 has support. Good luck
Did you guys get any of the new accessories? The remote or the stand? What do you think? Both are pretty pricey...

I got the remote, it's on the thin side. Nice for private listening mode, but I'm not so sure it was worth the money, the controller and AndroidTV apps are handier.
Yeah I got the remote. I really like it, but wish it had just one more button - for getting "context" option in kodi. Would have saved the $50 if I'd bothered to read up on it properly before purchasing
Remote here as well, pricey but nice. My Panansonic Vera tv remote works as well, has the directional buttons, just no voice search.
It would be great if I can reuse the remote from my Sony Nsz-gs7 with this thing.

Wow ! It's great :angel:
Thank you sooooooo much.
So am I understanding the Sony Nsz-gs7 works fine as a remote? Does the trackpad work? I would guess not, unfortunately.
Yes, I got remote but other accessories are not available here.
Thinking about getting the shield but not too crazy about the $50 remote nor do i like using a game pad for tv. Can anyone suggest a good third party remote that will pair? I got some research to do (not even sure if it bt or wifi). I dont suppose fire tv remote would work? Or any of the several set top box ones i have lying around collecting dust...
If your TV does CEC over HDMI then you can just use that. Most TVs do support this. Works well with my Samsung Smart UHDTV (UN60JU6500), has forward/back/play/pause/arrow keys.
I got the remote in a bundle for around $325us. I am very happy I chose this bundle. The remote is awesome.

I got Samsung SE-506 external dvd/bluray drive (supports AV mode) and it connects to the shield and plays dvds just fine - I love this device!
I hope that kodi or any other apps will some day be able to play back blurays same way as they do playback dvds right now. A man can dream

Pretty much as a direction remote and keyboard. Can't get mic or track pad working. [emoji22]

i like the look of the remote, but also not too crazy about the price either, im currently using mine paired up with my logitech harmony touch.. and have a minix neo a2 air mouse plugged in too for use with certain apps.
learning above that theirs no button for context menu within kodi ill 100% be giving it a miss,
has anybody tried a fire tv remote?
What about the FLIRC universal IR receiver? You just have to configure it in a PC and should work with any remote. I use it with an Harmony remote but on a Windows PC not sure how it will work on android.

Does it need some modification to work,or it is just plug and play?
Camera support on shield ATV
You can also plug a USB camera on the shield and for instance start using a video calling application uniquely available for the Shield ATV. I am not aware of any other set-top-box or Android SmartTV that has camera support.
There is only one video calling app on google play that works perfectly on the Shield ATV called "Tellybean - Easy video calling".

Late reply, but FYI there is also an Android app to use any smartphone/tablet as remote. And voice search is then included :good: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.tv.remote
Or you can use any universal IR remote...

Hi Sectune,
how did you do that? I'm really frustrated, because nearly nothing happend when i tried it.
Only the blue light of the drive flashs every approx. 5 seconds. The drive didn't spin up. I even can't open the drive when it's connected to the shield. Annoying.
So I'm really interested in how you managed it to work.
is there a better controller out there that's 100% compatible? The standard Shield controller is rubbish, IMO.
As title say atsc USB tuner for USA and the world

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)

Yeah i know, was just saying i had my eye on that USB tuner but didn't know if it worked with other contrys.. as far as I knew it might of been what was looking for
Why not HD homerun? I know its not what you asked for but it works great
This is a good way to mirror you iOS Device to the Fire TV devices with the use of Air Screen app that use Airplay :
Download the app Air Screen it free by searching on it from your Fire TV than lunch it.
On you iOS devices iPhone or iPad open Control Center and select Screen Mirroring.
Now you TV can display your iOS screen.
if you wanna see the how to video:
