I was told that you could hook up this phone to a TV to stream content? Is that true? What kind of cable is needed?

No cables. You need a DLNA certified TV or some sort of console/peripheral to hook up via your home network in order to stream phone content.

Is there a way to stream to WDTV Live or Tivo Premier?
I know that the Xbox 360 is supposed to be DLNA compliant, but I've never been able to figure out how to stream to it.

Use a free app called iMediaShare to stream to 360 or PS3
I tried twonky, a free app. However, I'm only able to view photos by accessing phone. It has a beam option (videos, YouTube, etc) which I haven't figured out yet. My tv is DLNA compliant. Will play around with it more when I get a chance.

Did you set up the sharing in media player? I guess my issue may be a firewall issue....which if so... I'd probably just give. Firewalls can be a *****.
I already had media sharing setup prior to getting the phone.

Through the regular connected media app I can see my PC which has Serviio installed and can play Video (not all formats), music and pictures. My samsung C6500 bluray player which is also DLNA enabled does not see Inspire though.
I installed iMediaShare app from the market, now my C6500 bluray can see the phone, I can browse the folders on my Inspire and can play video/music and pictures.

Yeah, I can get music and videos to stream to my pc, but not the other way. I think the media share is set up that way, but the music app seems to be able to play music from the pc on the inspire. That gives me a permission error. I have enabled all of the settings in media player, but no dice....either its cool, but wish I could listen to my pc music on my inspire.
I forget which port it was but I had to manually set it up in the port forwarding tab for my network to have it so all my devices (xbox,ps3,etc) would be able to access my full media library. Maybe the phone needs the same thing.

Does anyone know of a way to watch streaming video on your laptop from your Thunderbolt? So lets say I am streaming video from JetFlicks, is there a way to watch the samething on my laptop monitor? Basically a monitor out.
Use the connected media app. I guess that would only work if you had it downloaded it to your phone...

He is talking about getting the video to play, not how to share the internet connection.
I know you can do it the other way around, from a pc to the TB, but i'm not sure if there is a way to do what you are trying to do.
Can't vlc/vnc do this

What can a TB stream, that a PC can't? i.e. why stream it on the TB and display it on a PC, when you can just stream it directly on the PC?

I'm with you on that, don't understand, but its something the OP is asking about.
Yes, the TB has DLNA support for streaming from the phone to your computer or TV provided you have the phone and PCs connected to the same WiFi network.
In the media gallery click the video you want to stream, then press menu, select player, and your pc should show up if you have Windows media player open and the settings set for streaming.
You can also use an app to stream like Twonkey, but be prepared to download a PC server version to your pc as well.
The question is about displaying video being streamed to the TB on a PC. I don't think it can be done. A DLNA server on the TB (like twonkey) will stream media files to a PC (no special client needed on Win7, just use WMP), but I don't think you can pass through a stream to a stream.
oh, I see what he meant now. Technically you can stream a stream, depending on the app. For "tv streams" and "movie streams" if you stream from a server (not Megavideo) that allows you to use an outside video player you can. These are the only two apps I personally know of that allow it though.

to stream tv well i was wrongish on tversity orb might work better but tversity can stream any video file on your comp with proper setup of course .
so if you have a tv capture card and windows 7 this = DVR capability ie stream shows that are recorded not so much stream on the go.
Is there anyway to play media on the TV? HDMI,DLNA,or any other way?
You can use Twonky from the market.

If you have a DLNA-capable TV or other renderer, the Connected Media app that comes with the phone is a DLNA server.
Other than that, I'd say any of the other DLNA/UPnP servers from the Market, but that also requires a DLNA-capable renderer.
If you don't have any of the above, I don't believe there's an HDMI cable available for the Thunderbolt yet.
Edit: Had to check my facts, turns out I was right.
Will any of the DNLA or UPnP servers do a full mirror? Or is it just strictly for media stored locally on the device like with the HTC dnla hdmi server?
Or at minimum allow me to stream straight from slacker, youtube, vulkano, or the web.

Far as I know, there aren't any apps that will mirror the display. The DLNA server(s) will only allow you to render content from your device onto a renderer.
The built-in server (Connected Media) will even allow you to render content stored on another DLNA server through your device to a remote renderer. I'm not sure why they would do that, since you must already have a DLNA-compliant server and renderer... Why wouldn't you just render the content directly instead of through your device...?
Cool, that's what I thought, but I thought I would ask and hope someone saw something I didn't.
I was curious as to what apps you all use to stream from your phone to another DLNA equipped device. In my case it would be my ps3. I tried imediashare from the market and it works but not for the videos my phone records. It says the format is not supported. I want one that is easy to use and will stream all the info from my phone to the ps3
Allshare is built in...
It still doesn't seem to play the videos correctly....the ones my phone recorded...i wonder if its an issue with my ps3 or the Dlna sharing program?

It sounds like the ps3 doesn't have the right codecs to play that file. All DLNA does is allow your ps3 to access the file over the network. It still has to be able to open that type of file, just like if you were to copy the file directly to it. I don't know what codec the video recorder encodes its files in, but you should be able to copy it to a computer and analyze it to check (don't have time to do that right now myself). I'd suspect it's 3GPP, which I believe does not work on ps3 - this is all from memory, but it should help you to do some google searches to find out more info.
So I'm about to get a new TV. And the Logitech box to convert the new TV to a Google TV. I have some movies I downloaded on my phone. there AVI format. I watch some on my phone. And it plays it probably because I downloaded a player app from the market that supports the file. Anyway. I wanna kno, can I stream those files to my TV to watch them. Somehow?

DLNA (AllShare)
Or if you're on a Froyo release or an AT&T Gingerbread leak, the MHL adapter included with the Infuse.
Skifta has been an awesome and free DLNA client in the time I've used it. Highly recommend it.
samsung needs to do a better job advertising the things unique to their phones. samsung phones play almost any codec you can think of and has a dlna. for a while when the captivate came out that was an actual advantage. now there are market apps that are better but try all share. if it doesnt work then download one from the market.

So when I use the Logitech box with this new TV. File expert can stream the avi formatted files over to my TV. With of course the help of box. How exactly does the box convert the TV into Google?
