Think I need a mini HDMI to HDMI cable, a Micro USB OTG adapter and I should be sorted. Optionally could add a USB hub to allow me to use a USB to Ethernet adapter and a couple of other USB devices (such as a keyboard, mouse).

Do USB Hubs work with dock keyboard USB port?
IF I want to plug in an external hard drive for example, IT may need 2 USB ports..
OR if I want to plug in 2 xbox controllers.
Anyone tested this?
Does a usb hub connected to the OTG adapter allow for the tablet to charge? With a device connected as well?
I am trying to connect my NVidia Sheild to a powered usb hub with no luck at this point.
Heres what I'm using:
Powered Hub
USB to Ethernet
OTG to USB
Male to Male USB
So I am taking the OTG to USB and connecting it to the Sheild OTG port. From there I have a Male to Male USB connecting the OTG to USB to the Powered usb hub. When I do this I can see that the Sheild's power light is orange which indicates to me that it is getting power and not acting as the USB Host for the Hub?
I did notice when I tried to use an air mouse directly with the OTG to USB it works as it should but not when it's connected to the powered usb hub instead, then nothing works (just charging). Also my ethernet adapter doesnt work via the powered usb hub or the OTG to USB.
BTW this whole physical setup worked just fine (plug and play) with both android MK808 and MK908. I was surprised that the Sheild isnt picking this up as well.
Can anyone tell me if I have incompatable hardware and if so what is compatable? Also I do not have ROOT access to the Sheild...yet, could that be the issue?
Many thanks in advance.

Theoretical question:
While in console mode, is it possible to have the following accessories attached at once?
1. Mini hdmi out
2. Usb hub
3. Ethernet
4. External hard drive
5. External power (obviously running through usb hub) or charger
6. Bluetooth controller
Thanks in advance
I have not tried it myself, but it should work, as long as the hard drive works with it at all.
I got:
HDMI
USB mouse
USB keyboard
USB pendrive
via OTG attached at once. Haven't tried USB power and Ethernet cable yet.
I have a keyboard and a mouse that both have their own Bluetooth-USB adapter.
I also have a new Android STB that has only one Enthernet and HDMI connector.
So therefore I wonder if it is possible to connect them through a USB hub with Enthernet-port via Enthernet,
so that the Blutooth adapters can be used.
