I am not tech savvy at all and I have a problem which I hope one of you clever guys can help me with.
So I have the itvx & bbc i player apps on my phone that I use to stream live rugby games. I prefer watching on my tv but the problem arises when I cast from my phone, also called the screen mirroring function. The stream starts to buffer, causing a bad viewing experience. I also can't use the app's casting function as it says a problem has occurred and I just get a blank screen.
I even tried to load both apps on my Mi Box but it doesn't allow that as they are geo-blocked.
So my question - Is there a way I can connect my phone to either the Mi box or the tv to allow for a more direct way of connection/viewing? thanks in advance.
 
I tried this option but unfortunately my phone does not support DisplayPort Alt Mode. Only found this out after buying the cable and trying it. after no success I googled the problem and learned about DisplayPort Alt Mode. Oh well, it wasnt expensive and Im sure I can use this cable for something else.
