For years I have wanted a portable device to hook up to my car coax digital input. Now that I am on the verge of purchasing an android device I am wondering if it can become my goto media source.
What options software or hardware are there to stream music from Android to an external receiver? Creative solution suggestions welcome
- Is there an app that allows streaming from android to the PS3 via wifi?
- Is there hardware that allows digital output from an Android device? This has never been made practical with iPods, is it possible with any Android devices?
- Is there some other solution (blutooth/aiport/etc) to allow this?
If there were an app/peripheral for this, that would be grand indeed.
nothen? I thought this was the uber hacker's forum
Hi every wonderfull android devs !!
I'm a proud owner of the wonderfull (again) TF101, but i guess something usefull is missing in android mobility solution : i named : USB/PCI driver and player for TNT DVB-T TV Tuners under android
As now tablets and even phone have USB plugs and enough power to make it, maybe they can support those little USB TV tuner dongles.
As reference under windows i'm using pouchin TV which is a lite and fluid player for TNT TV (DVB-T - H264 codecs etc ...) but i know there are many more like this one and maybe some which could be better... BUT my guess is for android !! i fall in love with it, its not perfect but it tend to be a light and easy to use (and in same time powerfull and completly controlable and customizable).
(But if i can make a parenthesis i would say that android fully interface with windows and that's great but only few apps can fill the connectivity gap between androtablets and androphones (like pdanet for instance). So please think about functionnality between 2 android device in your apps devs
parenthesis closed . )
So what about my suggestion about a new kind of app for android : i mean TNT TV support (for mobility reasons) through mini antennas or wall antenna plugs?..
First : is it possible? (i guess most linux distro already did it)
second : will it be done one day? does some brave guys/grils with gold software coding hands would be brave enough to make it !?
Please respond to my hope!!!
Thank a lot for all the work already done and for the one that will be ! (in any topics )

Yep, DVB-T on Android is possible:

USB TV tuner support on the gen8 Archos devices.
I am looking for this too.
Hi
First thanks for replies.
So if i have well read, froyo include the good drivers for usb tuners, but the transformer is under honeycomb (but that shouldn't be a trouble, as i guess that drivers would be included to it also) and the main trouble would be to adapt this app to the transformer (hardware point of view), it's just à guess as I'm just a Mc guyver with c code... And at least working on a rooted stock Rom..
Am i right?

Is thid project "death"?
I have a DVB-T-Stick with RTL2832U Chip (and 820T).
In the Play store, there is also a driver for this "RTL2832U" based DVB-T sticks Intended for a SDR App.
I can receive flight transponder data live from airplanes with a app, but there is no universal DVB-T tv app ?
Only "DVB-T for Android" etc., for ELECOM Micro-USB etc. DVB-T-Tuners.
Hello All,
May you want to check this USB tuner supports on Android TV;
Is there any custom roms with Miracast support for TF101? Is it stable enough to everyday use (I hope at least these are working: camera, mic, dock, gps)? Have you tried yet that Miracast thing?
Thanks,

BUMP!
I didn't get any replies so let me ask again.
[ROM][4.2 JB MR1] Team EOS 4 *JELLYBEAN MR1* Nightlies -- TF101
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2063406
Is there Miracast support for this rom? At least it is 4.2 version of Android that should contain that Miracast thing.
Is there 4.2 version of CyanogenMod 10 available for TF101?

I found that this ROM should support Miracast but it seems that it is not so popular than those other roms.

I just try to find some answers before I will choose one for test round. I think I will buy "Netgear PTV3000 Push2TV HD" and connect it to my TV. So any comments about Miracast are mostly welcome!
If you dont know what is Miracast
Miracast is a peer-to-peer wireless screencast standard created by the Wi-Fi Alliance. Billed as an open alternative to Apple's AirPlay Mirroring, it allows users to, for example, echo display from a phone made by Company A onto a TV made by Company B, share a laptop screen with the conference room projector in real-time, and watch live programs from a home cable box on a tablet. Miracast connections are formed via Wi-Fi Direct, which allows direct Wi-Fi connections in a similar manner to bluetooth.Miracast only works over Wi-Fi. It cannot be used to stream to a router access point.
On 29 October 2012, Google announced that Android version 4.2 (updated version of Jelly Bean) will support the Miracast wireless display standard, and by default will have integrated features for it. As of January 8, 2013, the Nexus 4, Sony Xperia Z, ZL, T and V officially support the function.

After reading a little about it, it seems you need to be certified to use it, and the TF101 isn't in the list. Funny though that people report the Nexus 7 has having it but it's not listed there... So maybe you don't actually need to be certified... or maybe Google just didn't feel like listing themselves on there.
I can also confirm that the ROM in my sig (EOS4 - 4.2 JB MR1) does not have any extra options in the display settings. So unless the option is hidden elsewhere, I think it's safe to assume it's not there at all.

Thanks for the information.
Following HowTo is based of this ROM --> [ROM][WiP] Android 4.2 on TF101 | v0.8.0 XMAS | 4.2 GAPPS"
How To Install CM10.1 Android 4.2.1 Jelly Bean on TF101 ASUS Eee Pad Transformer

That HowTo mentions about Miracast support but I'm not sure anymore is it just some Android 4.2.1 copy/paste information. If anyone use that ROM could you check is there any Miracast settings available?
I'd also like to get an answer for this if anyone has already tested these roms.
thx.
if we can'tget miracast, there's an app named MirrorOp
give it a try. not bad...
One discussion about why Miracast isn't enabled in the custom roms?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=37226818
I understand that there could be some problems when TF101 use 2.4 ghz wifi and it lack 1080p resolution. But I think it all just speculation until some one enable that Miracast code and test it. We don't have any word from our Rom developers about this Miracast thing. They should actually enable it, take a look the code and test it. It would be nice feature to listen Spotify using your TV with Hifi amplifier or just watch movies with lower 720p hd resolution if that is possible with our tablet.
I wouldn't be surprised if it was proprietary code put into android that us mortals won't have access to.

Hello together.
Are there any news regarding an Android 4.2.2 Custom Rom for the TF101 with Miracast support.
I have a new LG TV Model 47LA7408 and I would like to use the second screen feature to stream the tv programm to my Tablet. But this requires Android 4.2.2 with Miracast.
Thank you for replies.
There are only a VERY FEW Android devices that support Miracast. ALL of these devices have 5 GHz radios, as do the TV's that support Miracast as well.
It is safe to say that the TF101 will not ever support Miracast.
Best option that I have found is to use an app that can connect to a DLNA server/player to play movies/videos from my tablet and put them on the TV.
Either that or get an HDMI cable and plug that in to your tablet to put the picture on the screen.

Hmm...
It can be done if you use a slingbox. But that can be a bit expensive...

My TV has a feature called second TV/ Second Screen. This gives the user the possibility to stream the tv signal to the LG remote APP on the users android. But this feature requires Android 4.2.2 and Miracast.

Then you will need a Miracast certified device: http://certifications.wi-fi.org/sea...ate_to=&selected_certifications[]=67&x=37&y=8
Miracast uses 5 GHz, which the TF101 does not have. To use this feature on the TF101 you would need to add a 5GHz radio and get it functioning (driver) and then see about enabling Miracast in the ROM.
I would love to have Miracast support on my TF101, but I do realize that it is 2 year old hardware and it is not supported or practical at this point.
Hi guys
You doesn't need any of the patches or 3rd party apps.
You just need to follow these steps in order to use cast screen in custom roms:
1. Just enable wifi 'on'
2.Open cast & it shows all available devices:fingers-crossed:
Hi. I really want to wireless view my Sensation screen on my TV, and I'd be glad to use chromecast to do this. Anyone fammiliar with this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/hardware-hacking/chromecast/experimental-enable-mirroring-device-t2812193 knows that you need a ROM that supports it. So I was wondering if there was a ROM that does so.
Hey ho.
Has anyone ever tried to get the Google Cast Receiver working on the tablet?
As it seems not possible to just install the Google Cast Receiver app, because Google made sure only official devices are being talked to, I was wondering if it may be possible to port the SHIELD TV receiver to the tablet.
Any experiences?
